Shawnigan Lake Waterfront

A project by K2 Developments

Project Overview

This full-scale renovation transformed an aging family home on the Shawnigan Lake shoreline into a refined, traditional retreat built for generations to enjoy. The project included both interior and exterior upgrades, as well as reimagined spaces that add comfort, longevity, and year-round usability.

Client Story

David and Lynn reached out through word-of-mouth looking to give their long-time family home a complete refresh. The vision was clear: preserve what made the home meaningful, but elevate it to a top-tier custom residence that feels new, purposeful, and timeless. What began as a major renovation grew into an ongoing relationship, with additional projects completed over time—including a new detached garage. A lasting friendship came out of the work, which is still one of the best parts of the story.

Architectural Highlights

This renovation touched nearly every corner of the home and added several standout features:

  • New underground bunker with a rounded outdoor staircase and extensive masonry.
  • Entire exterior rebuilt with cedar shingle siding, cedar trim, and clear cedar soffits with herringbone corners.
  • Triple-glazed windows and doors for comfort and efficiency.
  • Wood ceilings in the living room and custom millwork including a built-in bookcase.
  • Custom wood benches and maple wall and ceiling details in the entry.
  • Custom aluminum fireplace wood box.
  • Significant custom cabinetry throughout.
  • Old garage converted into a private guest suite with a full bathroom.

K2 Developments, as a team, went above and beyond to ensure a professional and positive home renovation ‘experience’!! The owner, the head carpenters, the site manager and all of the sub trades worked integrally and efficiently together to produce a building that we can all be proud of! The two things that stand out: (1) their attention to detail regarding the finances, the construction and finishing details, and (2) the respect that was visible between all of the people who were present on the site. We feel very fortunate to have K2 accept and complete our project! We are living in a space that not only looks beautiful and functions well but also has good karma! We are very honoured to be able to speak on behalf of K2 and their sub trades; they excel in every aspect of a construction project!
