Time to Celebrate NET ZERO, a first!

This past weekend, we celebrated a house warming with our clients in Oakville. After the stresses and strains of moving day they found themselves, relieved and enjoying their new home, built to rigorous NET ZERO standards! They generously treated the Chatsworth team to a wonderful dinner to celebrate what is for every family a landmark event, a new home! Imagine that your home was so energy efficient it consumed a whopping 60% less than comparable new home built to code specification! Well if you live in a NET ZERO home you wouldn’t have to imagine as that would be true!!

Tribute to Paul van Nuland….

We are all mourning the loss of our friend and co-worker Paul van Nuland. For the past months he had been in treatment but regrettably passed away on May 12 2019 at home with his family. We’ll remember Paul for his quit wit and corny jokes, his fishing stories and  simply a good sense of humour. Paul was always the man you wanted on the job. He would tear through work like a whirlwind. His wirey frame was deceiving as he could outwork the best of them. When the job needed doing, and some of them were ugly,  Paul was there to lead the charge and “get ‘er done”.

Luxury Homes Oakville: French Country House

This chateau farmhouse, reminisces of holidays in France. The wish list included a french “Old world” feel; secure family retreat; a long lasting resilient construction, all with a shabby chic décor. An off white colour scheme, tall ceilings and spacious volumes are used to create a flowing, airy feeling. The monochromatic neutral colours and large wall spaces will serve as home for the client’s artwork providing accent and interest.
