The Ottawa Home & Remodelling Show starts tomorrow and we’ll be there. The show runs from January 23-26 at the EY Centre. After some down time over the holidays we’re really looking forward to new conversations!
Season’s Greetings from all of us
As we wind down the year, the question we receive most often is when will the next EkoModel Home open house take place? We’re aiming for the second half of February 2020; please watch here and the EkoModel Home page for precise dates in the new year.
We hope you each get a chance to rest and recharge over the next little while, and we look forward to connecting again in the new year.
Here’s to new, sustainable beginnings as we enter another decade.
We’ve included a couple of fun paper snowflake videos here — a great reminder of a relaxing activity for all ages. One is basic, the other for something more impressive.

EkoBuilt Project: Prince Edward County Coach House
Another EkoBuilt coach house project was completed earlier this year, this one in Prince Edward County, surrounded by farm fields and wineries and with breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence seaway.
The home will be used as a cottage / second home for a young family from the Toronto area.

EkoBuilt Project: Pakenham Coach House
We’re so pleased to share one of the first coach homes by EkoBuilt, this one in the village of Pakenham west of Ottawa.
This great little project was designed as a seasonal cottage or chalet for today, with plans for it to become the owner’s retirement residence within five to ten years.
