Energy Savings
Innotech supplied the new windows for the building. The windows feature a simulated divided lite (SDL) to replicate the building’s original double hung windows. With a black exterior and white interior finish, the new windows provide the necessary ventilation and comfort for guests, while providing energy savings for the owners.
The renovation of the building was a 14-month long design and build process. The result is a memorable new space that beautifully combine the old and the new. The boutique hotel features nine rooms; guests are treated to modern amenities, comfortable spaces and delicious breakfast. The main floor of the building is a now a restaurant: Quartermasters Eatery. Downstairs in the building’s boiler room, the space has been transformed into a quaint whiskey bar aptly named The Boiler Room.
East Kootenay Haven was awarded two 2017 Georgie Awards: Best Custom Home valued between $1,300,000 – $1,899,000 and Best Certified Home – Custom. Congratulations!
