Ogden Road — “Fire Rebuild with Purpose”
When fire took the original home, the owners didn’t just rebuild — they started over with everything they’d always wanted.
A fire-damaged property in West Kelowna became a blank canvas. Rather than restore what was lost, the owners built the home they’d always imagined — modern and classic in equal measure, open to the views, and built to perform.
The Build
Aesthetic
Modern and classic exterior; 10-foot ceilings; generous south-facing windows framing lake views.
Design-Build
Architectural reviews, layout iterations, and continuous budgeting from concept through completion.
Client Process
Monthly budget updates throughout construction — no surprises at any stage.
Challenges & Context
Starting from a fire-cleared site has its advantages — no existing structure to work around, no compromises from a previous layout. The real challenge was the design-build process itself: keeping five decisions moving in sync across design, budget, and construction without losing momentum. The home achieved BC STEP Code Step 4, with the full rebate secured — Whitfield navigated that process on behalf of the clients.
A home rebuilt from the ground up — and everything the original never was.
