BEHIND THE SCENE

Friday vibe: “Let’s relax this weekend.” Al

Friday vibe: “Let’s relax this weekend.”

Also Friday vibe (for all of us homeowner’s): “We should probably do some spring chores around the property…”

I know weekends around here are supposed to be for boating, fishing, wineries, gardening, BBQs, and finally slowing down a little. But the truth is, most of us still end up doing a few chores around the house anyway.

So we might as well do them intentionally.

A little branch trimming. A little cleanup around the house. Maybe rethinking landscaping choices while we’re at it.

Between the coffee, the kids coming in and out, and the classic “this will only take 20 minutes”… somehow it always turns into a full family project.

But really, living in the Okanagan, this stuff matters.

And FireSmarting your property doesn’t have to mean making everything look dry, empty, or unattractive. Some of the best landscaping decisions can actually make your home feel even more intentional, natural, and protected at the same time.

It’s just part of taking care of what we’ve built. Protecting it. Respecting the land around it. And maybe feeling a little more at peace Sunday night when it’s all done.

If your weekend to-do list looks anything like mine, I put together a simple FireSmart blog post + printable checklist to help you get started. Simple. Efficient. That’s my promise to you. Because we all have so much on our plates already.

→ Read the blog (link in bio)
→ Comment FIRESMART and I’ll automatically send you the printable checklist

And we can still have that sundowner on the sun deck afterwards 😉

Something exciting is taking shape downtown Pentic

Something exciting is taking shape downtown Penticton!

We’re incredibly grateful to be involved in the design and the millwork of a new commercial project right here in our own neighborhood. Watching this apartment building come to life is such a rewarding feeling; especially knowing it will become part of the everyday fabric of our community.

There’s something special about helping shape spaces where people will live, gather, and create memories for years to come. Specially with our new collaboration with the one and only @daynalonquistmuse ✨

Excited for this one. More behind-the-scenes to come. 👀

WE WON 🥂 Still trying to find the right words

WE WON 🥂

Still trying to find the right words for this one…

Friday night, in our very hometown of #quebeccity Sitka Concept received a National Award from the @chbanational Canadian Home Builders’ Association.

As a family-run design & build studio from the Okanagan, this moment feels surreal. The competition was just as stunning and deserving. What an honour!

To our incredible clients: thank you for trusting us with your homes and your vision.

To our trades, suppliers, collaborators, friends, and family, thank you for being part of this journey.

And to my husband Martin… watching your craftsmanship and dedication every day continues to inspire me more than words can say.

We are so deeply grateful.
Annie & Martin

Finding the right balance isn’t about trends, it

Finding the right balance isn’t about trends, it’s about listening.

Nestled on a quiet vineyard, this home didn’t ask for something bold or trendy. It asked for calm. For softness. For something that belonged.

Her dream: an all-white kitchen.
His request: two dishwashers.
Our intention: create a space that feels grounded, timeless, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
We leaned into natural materials and subtle textures, Italian marble, raw cedar, linen, rattan, layered within a palette of soft whites to create depth without noise.

Finished with @jennaircanada @jennair appliances, seamlessly integrated for performance without distraction, @blancocanada fireclay sinks, and beautifully captured through the lens of @jonadrian

Because true luxury isn’t loud. It’s felt.

A kitchen designed not to follow a style, but to live beautifully for generations.
