Design Working on New Pinnacle in Revit

Our design team is hard at work on the new Pinnacle that will be going up on Mayne Island, BC.

Here you can see our architectural designer using Revit- our building design and construction software, to preform a complete structural review in 3D. The Revit software was built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), an intelligent model-based process that provides insight when planning, designing, constructing, and managing buildings and infrastructure.

Where does your inspiration come from?

One of the key features to a welcoming experience is the relationship between the local environment and a house. Rather than sticking out or not being noticed at all, you want your home and the landscape to complement each other.

Have you ever thought of letting your surroundings determine the look of your home?

Most popular plan on our website?

Everyone has a different idea for their perfect dream home. With over a hundred floor plans, the designs on our website are usually just a starting point. Each plan is fully customizable to best suite your needs.

So which is the most popular plan? Where do most dream homes start? It’s our Athabasca. It’s no surprise because this three bedroom two bathroom package has a great open floor plan in 1,628 square feet. This home is available in several exterior styles.

Building in a tight space? We can help!

A customized Sylvan Lake package is now a cottage on Paul Lake, BC. Built between two existing homes, on a rock wall, this cottage fits perfectly. Right along the road with only a drive way as working space, a Winton prefab build was ideal.

From foundation to lockup, prefab is faster than a traditional stick build. The builders were out of the way sooner, with less wasted material. With the cathedral ceiling and the large windows, this home shows off the view perfectly.

How far do you ship? A question we are often asked. Well how about this …..

One of our most challenging and exciting cottage package was a Fraser model we sent all the way to Cambridge Bay Nunavut. That’s right, we shipped it all the way to the edge of the Arctic Ocean

How did it get there? Good Question!!

In a location with only one barge in per year, timing was everything with this project. Sailing a home on the deck of a ship isn’t easy but we made it happen. After three months on barge to get around Alaska, the package still had more to travel.

Building a home in Yellowknife NWT

Winton Homes and Cottages have shipped several VERY exciting new homes to Yellowknife, NWT. Our Senior Design Consultant Larry Ochitwa was in Yellowknife recently and visited with the Customers and their builders.

Builders in Yellowknife face a very harsh climate, tough building conditions and a very short building season making our pre-fabricated homes ideal. Foundations are typically pinned directly to the Canadian Shields never ending rock.
