A custom theatre experience coming to life at The Coastal Treehouse in Nanoose for Pheasant Hill Homes.

Designed in-house by our design team, this space features professional soundproofing, acoustically designed wall systems engineered for optimal sound performance, and a theatre-style tiered floor layout for the ultimate viewing experience. The result is the perfect place to settle in, turn the lights down, and enjoy movie night the way it was meant to be experienced. 🎬

Behind The Build

Every high-performance home starts with smart decisions long before the walls go up. That’s where comes in.

From energy modeling to on-site guidance, they help us dial in efficiency, comfort, and long-term performance on every project. Not just meeting code—pushing beyond it.

Trusted partners make better homes. Simple as that.

Meet Josh.

Josh has been with us for over 10 years, and he’s become a huge part of what makes our projects run the way they do.

He started out as a labourer focusing on flashing. Over the years, through hard work and a commitment to getting better every day, he’s grown into a journeyman carpenter who now leads jobs.

He’s someone we rely on—consistent, dependable, and always willing to step up when it matters.

Outside of work, Josh is a dedicated family man, and that same care and responsibility shows up on site every day.

He’s always learning, always improving, and always pushing himself to be better.

We’re proud to have him on the team.

Built to perform—years later.

We stopped by a Passive House we completed back in 2016 for a spring maintenance check-in and asked the homeowner how things were running. Her answer says it all: about $800/year in electrical costs.

For context, the average home on Vancouver Island is paying $2,000+ annually.

That’s the long-term value of building better…comfort, efficiency, and real savings year after year.

This is why we do what we do.

Trade of the Day: Osprey Electric

Today’s spotlight goes to Osprey Electric, one of our trusted go-to trades for years. When a project calls for electrical work that’s highly custom, clean, and done right the first time, they’re always at the top of our list.

Their team consistently delivers professional, seamless installations, no matter how detailed or unique the job may be. From tailored solutions to the finishing touches you don’t always see, but definitely appreciate. Osprey Electric brings a level of craftsmanship and reliability that makes our projects run smoothly.

We’re proud to work alongside trades that care about the details as much as we do.

Capturing rain, respecting the site, and designing with intention. 🌧️🌲

At the Coastal Treehouse, our water collection system is another way we are building smarter, healthier homes. By managing rainwater where it falls, we reduce impact on the land, support the surrounding ecosystem, and create a resilient, high-performance home that works with nature, not against it.

A lot happening at The Coastal Treehouse right now.

Hardscaping is officially underway in collaboration with shaping the exterior spaces to complement the home and its natural surroundings.

The Pheasant Hill crew is pushing hard to wrap up the exterior insulation and rain screen, setting the stage for siding install. Building performance and durability always come first — the details behind the walls matter just as much as the finishes you see.

Inside, has been installing stunning hickory hardwood throughout. Mark mentioned “everything is hard here” and he’s right. The level of detail on this project demands precision at every turn. That extra effort will show in the finished product.

Johnny from has begun tile installation in the bathrooms, bringing craftsmanship and care to every install.

When you work with trades who take pride in the small details, the result is a home built to a higher standard. Quality isn’t accidental — it’s built, one detail at a time.

A staircase with a story 🌲

These custom stringers by Zenith Glass and Railing are becoming a true focal point of the home, wrapping around the tree that once stood on this property at the Coastal Tree House. Custom hickory treads will be added to match the floors, tying the staircase seamlessly into the rest of the home.

Trees were deeply important to these clients, and preserving that connection mattered. On every custom home we build, we try to carry a piece of the property into the house itself, because people don’t just fall in love with a floor plan, they fall in love with the land first.

Design rooted in place.
Built with intention.
