<p>Imagine high performance, comfort and simplicity in this rare boutique community of just <strong><a target="_blank" href="https://georgiaestates.ca/" rel="noopener">13 bare-land strata homes</a></strong>.  The development is quietly tucked into a sought-after Comox cul-de-sac. Offering a choice of thoughtfully designed single-level ranchers or well-planned two-storey homes. The homes feature bright, functional layouts, cozy gas fireplaces, and low-maintenance outdoor spaces—ideal for a relaxed, worry-free lifestyle.</p>
<p>Our team had the pleasure of working on this project from start to finish.  We worked closely with <strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tdgdevelopments.com/" rel="noopener">Thyssen de Goede Developments</a></strong> in the early design phase to optimize the build to achieve the goal of Step 5.   The home turned out amazing and achieved a very impressive final score of 0.76 ACH (air changes per hour).</p>
