Califonia Dream in West Vancouver
An Emphasis on Indoor/Outdoor Living
In addition to embracing the Californian spirit, the homeowners envisioned a flexible space that effortlessly adapted to both daily living and entertaining, capitalizing on the unique characteristics of all four seasons that West Vancouver offers. The emphasis on indoor/outdoor living became paramount, allowing them to make the most of British Columbia's light and sunny days, creating a home that truly embraced the natural beauty of their West Coast surroundings.
Embracing NanaWall Systems proved instrumental in bringing the design-build firm's, Upward Construction, vision to life for their clients. The low-profile, slim designs, and fully automated functionalities inherent in cero by NanaWall empowered the team to craft an open, flexible, and light-filled home that seamlessly intertwines indoor and outdoor living. NanaWall glass wall technology is what allowed Upward to achieve the goal of creating a home that authentically embodies California living while embracing the unique beauty of British Columbia.
“The integration of NanaWall's glass walls, both cero minimal sliding and folding glass walls, surpassed our expectations, delivering a sleek and modern solution that perfectly aligned with our homeowner's vision for a warm and inviting atmosphere. ”
"The fully automated features of cero not only added a layer of convenience but also allowed us to effortlessly adapt the space for various occasions, including entertaining guests."
Energy Efficiency for Environmental Responsibility
"NanaWall's technology also adhered BC building codes. Despite a large 30-foot opening on the main floor, NanaWall's energy-efficient design ensured that the home remained environmentally responsible without compromising on comfort or aesthetics. Our positive past experiences with NanaWall, coupled with the unobstructed views and near-invisible presence of their glass walls, made them the natural choice for this latest project," claims Upward Construction."
