We’re starting 2019 with a great variety of projects, including single family homes, a two-family shared home, a net-zero multi-unit project and a very modern passive summer camp. Read along to learn more!
Wakefield Project
This project in Wakefield, Quebec is currently under construction. The foundation was installed in November 2018 and framing started in mid-January.
The design is a custom client inspired concept which focuses on privacy from neighbors, natural light for all spaces, and abundant storage space because of slab on grade (no basement as the property is on bedrock).
Project timeline: Estimated completion in summer 2019
Chelsea project
This Quebec property is located within Quartier Meredith Subdivision, a brand new subdivision located 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa. The community is a highly sought after one because of its convenience to the capital. Chelsea is also a nature/outdoor lover’s paradise as it borders Gatineau Park.
The design is a modified version of our Fiddlehead model with an attached garage and a basement.
Project timeline: Construction to begin May 2019 with completion in December 2019
Old Chelsea project
The open floorplan has a clever L-shape that accommodates bedrooms and tucks a screened in porch off the kitchen for warm weather dining.
Yet another Quebec-side property, this one is located near the Gatineau River in a peaceful rural section of Old Chelsea with abundant trees.
The design is a custom client inspired concept. Inspiration has been taken from the client’s beautiful property which is surrounded by white pines. A minimalistic approach to design has resulted in a three-bedroom home with a smaller footprint that still maintains comfortable spaces for the homeowners.

Perth Townhome project
If you’ve been following EkoBuilt in recent months, you’ll know about this five-unit property that we’re developing near Perth Fairgrounds in a sustainable town inspired community.
The design is an EkoBuilt inspired concept: a modern, multi-unit mini-community with a net-zero footprint. It is the first of its kind in Perth, Ontario.

Round Lake project
Click to enlarge the working floorplan; a second version with cupboard space in the bedrooms also exists.
This Ontario property is located near Pembroke on the north east shore of beautiful Round Lake.
The design is a custom client inspired vision of a summer camp with modern design and appeal. We all know modern design starts with building passive!
The lakefront orientation is perfect for this project, with living areas facing the waterfront which is also due south, a fundamental principle in passive house design.

Frontenac project
This property is located near Cloyne village in North Frontenac Township, Ontario, south of Bon Echo Provincial Park.
This home design is a custom client inspired concept developed by two families coming together to save on cost. The home two-family home contains individual suites with a shared entry, kitchen, loft/games area and a great room. See the floorplan below for the main level.
