environment of Whistler.

Flag House is designed with two distinct box-like sections, stacked on top of one another. The lower section, which is clad in dark wood, houses the entrance and a guest bedroom. This base supports the larger, upper section, which features extensive glass facades. The upper floor is cantilevered, giving it the appearance of floating above the lower section. The overall design of the house integrates well with the surrounding landscape, maintaining a low profile and blending harmoniously with the natural environment of Whistler.
