5. Totally Neutral
This 3,000-square-foot home is a showcase of cedar, concrete, stucco and glass; the neutral colour palette helps tie the whole look together. See more of this Okanagan home here. (Photo: Martin Tessler)
6. In ’n’ Out
This home in Vernon, B.C. was designed to blend the indoors and outdoors, so architect D’Arcy Jones utilized wood, concrete, steel and other materials that have a robust and natural feel. See more of this eco-friendly home here.

Concrete is kept outside at this Calgary home, where it acts as a base for the backyard patio. See more of this Rachel Gray-designed dream home here.
