The Building

Building Design

Acres upon acres of trees, and miles of trails surround Origin, but they’re just a small part of the picture. A new definition of west coast living where thoughtful architecture and design come together with sustainable features makes these homes unique. Origin is situated to maximize the views of its mountaintop setting, but it’s what you don’t see that makes all the difference. Whether you opt for a one-, two-, or three-bedroom home—even a loft—well-considered features like radiant in-floor heating; a durable rain screen cladding system with a 50 year warranty; engineered wood products for beams, joists and headers; high-efficiency Cascadia Energy Star fiberglass-frame window systems; low VOC paint and adhesives; fiberglass insulation made with 40% recycled content; and water-conserving fixtures are just a few of the things that make a difference.

Planning a big get-together with family and friends? We’ve thought of that too. In the building itself, you’ll find a large social suite, as well as a workshop, great for the odd bike repair or woodworking project. Outside, native plants need very little supplemental water, and the storm water they do need is safely circulated back to trees and grasses—low maintenance, and eco-friendly.

Tree-lined streets and pathways make trips to nearby shopping, schools, restaurants, cafes and transit pleasant. Of course, you’ll have your own bit of the outdoors as well, by way of a spacious balcony or private garden patio – perfect for morning coffee, or sunset cocktails.
