Zebra Group in collaboration with Jenny Martin Design has designed this breathtaking French countryside-inspired home located in the quaint and lovely neighborhood of South Oak Bay, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This custom residence effortlessly transports you to the French Countryside.
Home to a growing family of four, it was designed to pay tribute to classical French architecture, blending traditional style with modern luxury. The project team worked closely together on this 5,229-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath dwelling to bring a fairytale vision to life.

The exterior facade features an exquisite palette of bright white brick and warm woods, while European-inspired soffits and subtle archways soften the space and pay tribute to the home’s colonial roots.

Above: Capturing a brilliant balance of tradition, sophistication, and restraint, this opulent entryway elegantly references the pure and unedited beauty native to the French Countryside.
Aiming to incorporate traditional elements with an aged vintage quality, this project integrates detailed moldings, rustic white-oak beams, and soft arches, pairing them with unlacquered brass and natural marble specifically selected to age gracefully over time. The aesthetic was elevated with a restrained palette of natural tones.
For a family with a passion for the French culinary experience, a thoughtfully structured kitchen was integral to the design. The custom LaCanche Range was instrumental in creating a focal point, while side-by-side gas ovens were used to heighten functionality.
What We Love: This French countryside-inspired home features dreamy spaces for family living. Every space has been thoughtfully curated beginning with the light-filled foyer with its exquisite herringbone flooring. We are especially loving the beautiful chef’s kitchen, with its large center island and lots of casual seating to comfortably gather in the heart of the home.
