Beachaus I in White Rock, Canada by InHaus Development Ltd.

Article source: Dave deBruyn

Uniquely modern, yet simple in nature. High quality construction, with exclusive finishes and ultra-efficient energy saving technology. Beachaus I was inspired by homes in the ultra exclusive beachfront communities found up and down the Californian coast.

Designed for active living, and built to last – this ultra modern 2085 sqft 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom home includes a large separate office/studio space and stunning bright principle spaces. Located less that 200m from Semiahmoo Bay, Beachaus I is the ultimate home for active “smart” living in this vibrant White Rock East Beach community.

• Architects: InHaus Development Ltd.
• Project: Beachaus I
• Location: White Rock, BC, Canada
• Software used: designed & modeled in Sketchup before being moved over to AutoCAD. Energy modelling was done via the “Hot2000” software which is standard practice in Canada in order to determine the home’s Energuide score pre-construction and assist in making changes to the efficiency of the planned dwelling pre-construction.

Beachaus I & II are the first independently certified LEED sustainable homes to be built in the White Rock / South Surrey area, and both homes have been carefully planned from the ground up to be the most efficient, livable and intelligent homes around. Each home has been inspected and verified through every stage of planning and construction to ensure that they meet the rigorous standards of the CAGBC’s LEED program. Upon completion, each will receive a final rating that will be permanently recorded by the Candian Green Building Council.
