Falcon Crescent
Project Overview
Falcon House is a custom residence, thoughtfully designed and built into a steep and rocky hillside site. The design follows the natural contours of the land, organizing the home around the site’s unique shape and incline rather than reshaping it.

Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code
Natural Light on Every Floor
A central stacked staircase beneath a roof light channels natural light down through every floor, keeping the plan bright and connected throughout. A stone-clad chimney spans all three floors adding warmth and continuity, while upper-floor bedrooms capture expansive views of the northern mountains. At the rear, excavation into the rock created space for a fire pit and hot tub, with a bedroom extending overhead as an architectural focal point.
This was the first house in Whistler to apply for Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code, making it one of the most energy-efficient homes in the area.”

Among the first homes submitted as a Step 4 Energy Performance house in Whistler, Falcon House achieves its targets through off-site fabrication, over-insulated walls, additional roof insulation, and high-performance heat pumps, delivering low running costs and a future-proof specification.
In the reading nook, a tilt and turn window creates a comfortable spot to enjoy the surrounding landscape while bringing fresh air into the space.

Exceptional Thermal Efficiency
Innotech’s triple-glazed windows and four-panel Lift + Slide Doors support the home’s Step 4 energy performance targets. The Lift + Slide Doors open the main living areas onto the deck, connecting the interior to the landscape while maintaining exceptional thermal efficiency and air and water resistance year-round.
