DONALDSON DRIVE

A 5,380 sq. ft. West Coast contemporary home on a larger rural lot, planned for multigenerational living with a fully self contained secondary suite.

Donaldson Drive, new home design in Grand Forks, B.C. by Ziola Design

The design

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This West Coast contemporary home pairs bold architectural lines with a layout built for multigenerational living. The main floor centres on an open kitchen, dining and great room, warmed by a large island and walk in pantry, with three separate covered patios extending the living space outdoors. A private office, mud room and raised ceiling foyer keep everyday function close at hand, and a main floor guest bedroom has its own walk in closet and ensuite.

Tucked off the main garage, a fully self contained secondary suite has its own entrance, garage, kitchen, living and dining area, bedroom, bathroom and laundry. It adds flexibility for extended family, a home business or rental income.

Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite has a walk in closet and a spa inspired ensuite with a separate glass shower, and two more bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom. A rec room, an upper deck sheltered by a full pergola and an HRV mechanical room complete the floor.

Exterior finishes lean into a modern mountain look: stacked stone veneer, cement fiber siding, stucco and laminate shingles, with exposed timber beam accents, metal clad posts and decorative stucco chimneys.

HOW WE DESIGN A HOME

Every Ziola Design home, including Donaldson Drive, follows the same four steps from first conversation to permit ready drawings.

  1. Share your vision and meet with us. Inspiration photos, sketches or material boards, plus your build location, in person or by video.
  2. Review a proposal. A detailed proposal covering scope, expectations and cost.
  3. Approve and design. We develop your concept plans and refine them with you.
  4. Finalize and submit. Complete working drawings, prepared for your building permit.
