Salt Spring Island doesn\u2019t need much convincing \u2014 it already has the cliffs, the meadows, and the trees. The name sounds more like a childhood storybook setting than an architectural statement \u2014 and that tension is exactly the point. Nestled amidst the trees and rugged cliffs of Salt Spring Island, BC, the Daisy Ranch is Olson Kundig\u2019s most recent residential project, led by design principal Tom Kundig. It\u2019s casual. It\u2019s rugged. And it\u2019s entirely, unapologetically itself.<\/p>\n

The house sits at the edge of a sweeping meadow, anchored by a log structure that feels like it could have always been there. The primary move is a rugged glass box paired with a long, cantilevered roof that stretches over a generous deck \u2014 a roof that earns its keep through BC\u2019s shifting seasons, offering shelter without closing anything off. What makes it work visually is the layering: large square-cut logs and glass soften the rust-colored patina of weathered steel cladding, giving the exterior a palette that feels earned rather than designed.<\/p>\n

Designer: Olsun Kundig<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The plan is organized along a clean linear axis, with two distinct volumes bisected by an eastern entry stairway. The front door is tucked under a generous overhang \u2014 a small but considered gesture that grounds the arrival sequence without dramatizing it. The northern volume, clad in wood and steel, handles the private program: a primary suite and additional bedrooms, with framed view corridors that offer deliberate glimpses of the landscape rather than full exposure. Privacy and connection, calibrated carefully.<\/p>\n

Inside, the bathroom is where the project gets most personal. Widespread use of wood infuses the space with warmth, while a clawfoot tub set before corner windows underscores the home\u2019s persistent connection to the landscape outside. It\u2019s the kind of detail that feels borrowed from an older, more tactile way of building \u2014 which is precisely the intention.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The project was designed in close collaboration with the client, Patrick Powers, a builder and fabricator who also served as general contractor. That relationship left its mark. The house doesn\u2019t feel like it was delivered to a site; it feels like it was made with the site, material decision by material decision.<\/p>\n

As Kundig put it: \u201cThere\u2019s a lineage at play in this project, a quiet innovation that comes from the shared DNA of materials and relationships.\u201d The Daisy Ranch is the kind of project that doesn\u2019t need to announce itself. It sits lightly on its land, opens wide to its meadow, and gets on with the business of being lived in.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
