This residence in Ladner, British Columbia, Canada was created by Scott M. Kemp for his family of four. The main feature is the wood framing of the house and a sustainable approach to construction. The house is not too big but very flexible. The architect tried to connect the house with the natural surroundings of the river, by breaking down the barrier of both the indoor and the outdoor space.

The atmosphere inside the house is very warm and airy because of the materials which were used and large glass finishes. It looks even a bit transparent. So the residence is provided with maximum sunshine and breathtaking views over a spectacular natural Fraser river setting and the village. The house is constructed with two building systems: SIP panels (structural insulated panels) and exposed timber framing. The house has three zones longitudinally. Two side zones are the two stories and the third one is arched.
