One Day Interiors Pretty spectacular! very details oriented. A gorgeous property! The only thing I find missing are pictures, and greenery. Could use a few lovely large indoor trees..and plants..( I know they are only there seasonally but they must have someone look after the property).

kkalvinou Just a dream home ,it can use some pictures inside and some landscape outside.absolutely stunning inside.Good job !!!

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel One Day: It looks as if the design team photographed this as soon as it was furnished, before selecting art. There are many walls spaces with dedicated lighting, where I'm sure art will hang at some point. And yes, it's much needed! Right now the place is gorgeous, comfortable, but still a little soulless.

Trust Interiors Wow! What a great use of natural woods

astraea Love the stone walls & fireplaces .. makes me wonder if they own a quarry company! As I've said before, I wish these articles mentioned how much new homes cost to build, because all of that custom stone & wood has got to be mega-expensive!

jpnpro nice.. if you are in the 1% that can afford it

gschneider Although I don't ever see affording a house like this one myself, from this tour I have an appreciation for their well thought out & beautiful interpretation of modern, organic rustic lodge style & can find inspiration in aspects of this project.

dianeellingham This is what I'm talkin about!!! And put it in the Okanagan also

Ibhar amazing i love your work to much

A K Love the way they worked the interior lighting

Mary Schalk Interior Design Looks like a hotel. Don't like fabrics and lighting. Uninviting

luuppi Many of the pictures had made it into my idea book already, but I always love to learn more about this gorgeous property and the design philosophy... ideas are for free, and the log house I am working on must come in way under 10% of the budget for this one

marcie31 Wonder if they radiant heat under all the stone. Brrr!

mcbriec Absolutely gorgeous use of textures with modern and rustic elements. I think it looks personal and curated rather than "hotel-like" as one commenter felt.

My criticism would be that there did not seem to be enough indoor/outdoor connection through giant windows, something that I would have expected in this stunning setting.

Richard D. Wood This home could not be more to my liking, BRILLIANT! Richard D. Wood, Architect

wendycrosetti I love this, but I have to agree with Mary. I thought it was a Hotel. All be it, a hotel I would love to stay.

lindanr Absolutely beautiful ! Love all the wood and the rock !

nannagramma What. No art?

Mackin Drafting & Design I don't often see a log home done with a contemporary look like this one. I thought it was wonderfully done and shows some creative design ideas. Nice Job!

Mary Schalk Interior Design Is anyone else getting tired of the overused word curated?

faurscho In spite of the use of reclaimed wood, local rock, or salvaged logs , the house seems over the top for its purported "natural" aesthetic. There is no "balance of nature" worked out in this design, no sustainable architectural innovations in its construction. The impression is rather one of colonizing nature rather than living in any kind of harmony with it. Moreover, like so many luxury vacation homes in the "wilderness", the vast amounts of energy expended in transporting materials, and inhabitants to this pristine location mean tons of carbon pollution will be generated to maintain this "get-away-from-it-all" lifestyle. ...beautiful views for sure, of species disappearing.

ikroop I am planning a barn door for my bathroom, too. Does this one lock? I am having trouble determining the type of lock to use in order to assure privacy. I thought of using pocket door hardware. Any suggestions?

Marco Ducasse the ideal family vacation Home with contemporary features complemented by warm touches connecting to nature. The well crafted interior details make the space unique.

Mona Stunning use of wood/metal/glass/rock elements. Does look like a hotel. Agree with comments to make it look more warm & homey.....drapes, color, grand paintings, greenery inside or even flowers somewhere. The lighting is amazing. It is a vacation home...do they rent it out for groups? I love this home!

mcbriec I absolutely love this place, and think it's far too creative to be given the hotel moniker. And I am a total hater of what I view as hotel design.

gknee A winter home...damn I'd like to see their spring, summer and fall homes.

frecklefrog I am English but I live in the Okanagan BC. These homes are two a penny. There is so much money here it is actually quite vulgar. These sort of homes don't interest me. There are some really beautiful small heritage homes, probably full of dust and old books here in Kelowna situated in tree lined streets, which I think are far more interesting and are probably not decorated with brown accent walls like most of the homes in the new sub divisions.....Ooooo Rant OVER haha

t117tim To the owners, ... how wonderful and spectacular and may every peace and happiness come to you in the space ....

To the people who felt they needed to leave a comment that was less than positive, ... my beautiful mum always said, "if you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all".

tamaral I'm unclear why others take offence when a 'less than positive' review is left here. Is it because Houzz is only for oooh-ing and aaah-ing? Is commentary censured? I can understand being defensive if the comments are harsh and unjustified. But, might I also point out, even the bloggers here ask for readers' opinions, so why are some readers feeling defensive about someone commenting honestly?

That said, add my opinion to the mix: Not a fan of ostentatious homes. I have family in three of BC's famous resort areas. So, naysayers can be assured that it is not 'jealousy' that causes me to comment thusly, but experience is what has formed my opinion (and likely freckefrog's too). It is completely true that these mega'log'homes are a dime a dozen in these resorts. They are spurned by most of the locals for being over-grande and destroying the mountainviews of other homes. They sit empty for most of the year, hog resources the long-time locals need, and are constant reminders to the poorer citizens, many huddled into staff housing, of the disconnect between those who live and work in the community and those who 'drop in' and quite often act like they own the place when they do. These homes represent a sore spot for some of us.

So, just as some folks aren't impressed by: MCM-style; Dallas megahomes; tiny-box condo contemporary, and freely point it out, I and others here are making our viewpoints heard. Nevertheless, this is just the right place for this kind of home, here on Houzz, as it is one of a wide range of housing styles. Just as my (and others') opinion is one of a range. Spice of life.

As for decor, which is what I think this site is about, I do get exhausted by the store-bought cookie-cutter look. This is just a 1% version. Trust me, I've been to many of these homes. It's amazing what endless wads of cash can do for decor. Throwing expensive things into a home does not feel like decor to me. Just one gal's opinion, given in a free world.

mcbriec Of course this is America and freedom of thought must reign. However, there is such a thing as constructive criticism, which is entirely different than vituperative, bile-filled invective which speaks very poorly on the person releasing her venom. Gratuitous nastiness is never attractive, and should not be confused with freedom of expression. Feel free to offer alternative view points, but do so in a tactful, polite manner.

I have come to the sad conclusion that there is a very poisonous undercurrent of cattiness on this site which seems to reflect a seventh-grade level of girls being vicious to each other in order to feel superior . IMHO Houzz appears to need some of the rules governing other web sites where members are encouraged to be polite with each other.

frecklefrog I apologize if I offended anyone. It was just an opinion that I think has been taken too seriously. I think the subject hit a nerve with me as I do live in the Okanagan where these mega vacation homes do stand empty for most of the year. Us Brits have a different vernacular which isn't always understood by Amercians. I will keep my opinions to myself in future although I do think discussions should be thought provoking and diverse. Thanks to "tamaral" for your input. I was feeling rather bullied....enough said I think.

Mackin Drafting & Design I would have to agree totally with the comments that mcbriec made. I was offended by the comments of tamaral. Once you take out the social bile thay they are spewing, their is no content at all regarding the house, posative or negative. In the future, I will leave my soapbox at home and ask that you do the same.

frecklefrog Oh for Gods sake.....I had an opinion.... apologized for offending.... Get over it and move on!!!!

momlauren This is a really nice home. I would love to live in it.

Mackin Drafting & Design @ frecklefrog I'm sorry if I offended you. I must have not had my coffee that morning. While I do actually agree with you on many things that you said, I have to also keep in mind that it's clients like this that keep me employed. Again, my apologies

Hope Combest Wow! Amazing place! I don't care for the furniture choices (execpt the dining table), but the house and grounds are breath taking! House feels like a model home waiting to be purchased with its lack of art work and minimal accent pieces. Love the pool area.

Karen Somerville Lovely log home with a warm-modern edge. It's a treat to not see the traditional "rustic-country" decor. I'd love to see some art on those walls too...may I suggest my Dad's work. He is a local photographer who's passionate about the Okanagan landscape. www.merlesomerville.com.

tcufrog This is a beautiful homemade however one thing I sometimes wonder when viewing homes is how they fit within the context of their neighborhood and community. It's hard to tell when viewing an idea book. I also sometimes wonder about the environmental sustainability of such homes? Were old growth trees cut down for the logs or were they purchased from a tree farm? Deforestation is a real issue in many parts of the world.

Louanne O I like the fact that you are not over powered by too much wood in a log home. Love the staircase, who built it?

jankiing Love reading the various comments --some bold, some pedantic, and some just plain interesting. I use Houzz for all sorts of ideas. We just finished our new home and the borrowed/tweeked ideas from Houzz helped me immensely to put our own personal stamp on it. If I'm not sure about something, Houzz is the first stop to find answers for landscaping or home decor. Love it! I also love this log home even though I always thought of myself as "Upscale Rustic/Traditional". Beautiful work. Hope someday to finally meet someone who inhabits one of the great homes featured on Houzz!
