Snow Shed

Revelstoke, British Columbia
5100 sf / 4 units

The minimalist aesthetic and portal frame construction draw inspiration from the nearby avalanche tunnels that help characterize this beautiful part of British Columbia and its extreme weather patterns. While being materially and structurally efficient, the shed roof helps to keep snow away from the outdoor living spaces while accentuating the experience of the sloped site by offering clerestory views of the northern canopy. The main living spaces are located on the second floor to benefit from the high ceilings offered by the shed roof and enhance the expansive southern views.

The Snow Shed is a 4 unit row house development in the Cedar Street community just south of the Trans Canada Highway. Located walking distance from downtown Revelstoke, this project looks to add variety and supply to the local housing market. McLintock Architecture spearheaded the successful OCP and rezoning application that was required for the development and is currently working through the permitting process on behalf of the client.
