West Coast Tuscan
Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada
Perched on a high bluff on the Canadian Gulf Islands, this sun-drenched villa enjoys spectacular views. Working closely with Peter Rose Architects and general contractor Ray Dean, Kettle River Timberworks provided detail design, consultation, fabrication and engineering of all the timberwork. Timbers were sandblasted to provide a weathered, aged look. Structural trusses in the great room incorporated beautiful custom wrought ironwork. Unique ‘inverted trusses’ support a cantilevered deck providing spectacular views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
