This fabulous contemporary home was designed by Randy Bens Architect, nestled on a 14 acre apple orchard in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The orchard will supply a local cidery and the owners intend to expand the orchard in the future. The dwelling is long and low, and sits just above a change in grade.
The bedroom wing is detached from the living wing, and the two are separated by a small courtyard. The entry is at this hinge point, under a long, single, dramatic dormer. The dormer draws you into the living room which cantilevers 15’ over the bank. As you exit near the kitchen, you can meander down the landscape to the lower pool and the beginning of the orchard.

What We Love: This incredible dwelling offers a wonderful floor plan layout, with the main living spaces separated from the bedroom spaces with a small courtyard. Large windows throughout the home frame breathtaking views of the Canadian landscape. A seamless indoor-outdoor flow brings fresh air into the home while also extending the living spaces. A large patio and sumptuous swimming pool makes this home ideal for family living and entertaining.
