Okanagan Living is synonymous with the beaches and boating of lakefront living, and the lush orchards and rolling vineyards of rural properties. But what if you want a vibrant and urban headquarters from which to explore everything the Okanagan has to offer? An Inner City Infill can give you the opportunity to create a home base amid the hustle and bustle of Kelowna with easy access to dining, shopping, and entertainment yet still just a short excursion away from water and wineries.
Paired with FLR’s passive energy home plans and sustainable building practices we have successfully blended city living and eco-chic.
Sustainable Urban Living
Urban density is a sustainability theory that holds the belief that population density creates cities that function more efficiently. And thoughtful urban revitalization rejuvenates aging communities and evolves neighbourhoods with renewed energy. Partnering with FLR to build your Custom Infill can be a thoughtful opportunity to build your urban dream home with consideration to your neighbourhood and your larger community. A Net Zero Custom Infill will allow you to bring beautiful design, sustainable building practices, and energy and cost efficiencies to your build.
What Sets FLR Infills Apart
- We can build to passive home standards, and/or Net Zero Ready: Our homes can be built to produce as much energy as they use or constructed so that in the future, as solar or other renewable energies become more affordable, panels or other technologies can be easily incorporated.
- We can build with cold form steel: Steel framing decreases build times, saves up to 40% percent on construction costs, offers enhanced design options, increases durability, reduces construction site waste, and is recycled and recyclable. This is the future of sustainability.
- Our processes protect your investment: With streamlined construction practices, project timelines are shorter and waste is mitigated. Our construction enhances durability over time. Our passive energy homes are 100% more efficient than homes built to the current standard building code therefore saving you operational and maintenance costs.
RU7 Zoning
