In the wake of a devastating house fire, the homeowners of The Phoenix House saw an opportunity to rebuild. Not just for today, but for a more resilient and sustainable future. Their journey led them to embrace the Integrated Design Process (IDP), bringing together a team of experts to achieve a home that goes beyond energy efficiency. The result? Phoenix House stands as one of only two British Columbia recipients of 2025’s Built Green Canada awards and is packed with performance home strategies that required the input from all of the design-build trades on the project.
