Forest House Reno & Addition
Our company, GM Projects Ltd., builds new homes, as well as Custom Renovations and new Additions for properties on the Sunshine Coast, BC.
This home nestled in the woods was built by GM Projects years ago. The owners loved the original house, but over time they decided they needed more space.
GM Projects was delighted to work with them again to create the new Addition and Renovation shown on the left hand side of the photo.


The new Reno and Addition includes an office, which also doubles as a guest bedroom. This image shows the murphy bed that Gary installed for the owners to create extra guest space when needed.
On the left side of the Murphy bed is an Artist’s studio area (not shown in photo) that has large windows giving this studio / guest / office space light and lovely views on 3 sides.
Here you can see the newly built office space in the Addition with French doors leading to the garden.
No job is too big or too small, and GM Projects Sunshine Coast is always happy to accommodate special requests.


Here you can see the covered main entry looking from the driveway and detached garage.
The hardscape with boulders and rock pathway was designed and installed by GM Projects.
The rock pathway leading to the front door creates a natural woodsy feeling as guests approach through the lovely garden.
This photo features some of the custom woodwork and details created by Gary of GM Projects, Sunshine Coast.
These wood features were incorporated throughout the home and new Addition, both on the interior and exterior.
The Renovation and new Addition blended in seamlessly with the home making it impossible to detect the Addition was not part of the original home build.
GM Projects believes Harmony in Design and Building is key to all of our projects.


The warm and comfortable living room, with it’s big, bright windows, faces the forest and features a custom ledgestone fireplace with a beautiful curved insert.
Natural wood in warm tones was used extensively throughout the house on the floors, wall trim, ceilings and the rafters.
The lovely dining room features expansive windows on 3 sides looking into the forest. It also has warm wood floors throughout.
Large peeled log posts mark the entry of this beautiful dining room. They add a sense of strength to the room that’s surrounded by nature. It’s a wonderful space.


This family room off the original kitchen is part of the new Addition on the second floor.
In keeping with our harmonious Design Plan, we created a second custom ledgestone fireplace to match the living room fireplace.
The ceiling height and floor to ceiling fireplace give the room a spacious feeling. The surrounding expansive windows make this room a welcome retreat for all.
The breakfast area off the kitchen captures the morning sun. The kitchen features beautiful tile floors and dramatic wood ceilings with recessed lighting.
The French doors open onto a wrap-around covered balcony with views to the gardens below.
Off the balcony are stairs down to a outdoor seating area and Koi pond.


Gary and the GM Projects team were proud to have built the owners original house (shown here). We were delighted to work with the owners again when they decided it was time to expand and add a new Addition and Reno.
