In the fall of 2013 we were contacted by The Dharma Fellowship of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa who maintains a Hermitage for meditation and spiritual practice on Denman Island, one of the small gulf islands that lie off the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Founded in 2005, the Hermitage provides simple facilities for those seeking spiritual renewal, for inner peace and self-realization, within a serene Buddhist setting. Still very new, and with no funding other than what comes from dedicated members, the property is very much in an early stage of development; nevertheless events, meditation retreats, teaching sessions, the participation of Lamas and teachers, and the growth of a definite spiritual presence, has already begun to emerge.
Our client owns a beautiful Mid-Century house with nearly an acre of land just a few blocks from Ambleside Beach.
One of the typical downsides of Modern Design is the lack of storage and this house was no exception.
Our client asked us to design, fabricate and install one of our 8’x12′ Contemporary Garden Sheds. This West Vancouver Garden Shed needed to blend into its surroundings seamlessly yet be easy to access.
We love the colour scheme and location the client chose for this shed although it was a bit challenging for us to get too.

Our customer came to Westcoast Outbuildings with a problem.
Their New Westminster BC Bungalow only had two bedrooms. When their two children were younger sharing a bedroom was no problem. But let’s face it children grow up and sharing a bedroom was no longer an option. With the eldest being nearly 15 years old it was time to make a change.
A full renovation of the house was out of the questions for zoning and budgetary concerns. So they decided to take the plunge and build a backyard bedroom kit. Very brave parents I would say.
The solution was an 8 x 12 Backyard Bedroom Kit that they bought and installed themselves over a couple of weekends.
