Project Title Custom Home with Panoramic Views in Coquitlam
Client Kuljit and Gurmail Manak
Category Custom Home on a Hill
Location Coquitlam
Project Summary
Perched atop a hill, this project aimed to replace a modest family home with a new custom residence featuring a side garage. The ambitious undertaking involved deep excavation and pile protection to accommodate the high excavation requirements, all while maximizing the breathtaking Surrey skyline views.
Project Challenges
Navigating evolving regulatory requirements across different municipalities presented a significant challenge, necessitating collaboration with various consultants. Adverse winter weather conditions added complexity to drilling and installing piles against excavated walls. To prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency, Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) were utilized for all in-ground basements, while an electrical elevator was incorporated for seamless access to all three stories.
