Bottega Farm Inn is a modern conference and retreat centre with guest accommodations nestled within the trees on a 13-acre property in southeast Kelowna, BC.

Designed with energy efficiency and functionality in mind, this project integrated many different types of construction to achieve the Client’s desired look and function. The building was designed using IFC blocks, poured-in-place concrete, standard wood framing, structural steel, Glulam beams, timber strand posts and beams, and structural wood sheathing/soffit materials.

The space is heated and cooled with a geothermal ground loop system and boasts large overhangs and energy efficient windows and cladding to help reduce the overall operational costs.

Completed in the fall of 2011, the building is two and a half stories high and approximately 15,700 sq ft. It is arranged into two wings which are connected by a two-storey bridge. The north wing contains an entry lobby, lounge, administrative offices, support functions, and a vaulted Great Room. The south wing contains ten (10) sleeping rooms, a kitchen, bistro and a classroom. The two wings are arranged to create two courtyards: a welcoming public court yard at the front entrance and a larger, more private courtyard to the rear.

While respecting the existing fabric of the Glenrosa neighbourhood, this project provides an enlightened approach to suburban living. In the rezoning proposal for the 14.5 hectare site (36 acres), a mixture of housing choices and a neighbourhood commercial area diversifies the land uses available in the neighbourhood.

Like the existing neighbourhood, the Lower Glenrosa plan offers single family residential, but also compact lots and townhomes for lower maintenance lifestyles and greater attainability. Age-in-place opportunities for Glenrosa residents are reflected by offering townhome units with private entrances. The modest commercial area provides opportunities for retail shops and service amenities, with linking sidewalks and pathways ensuring easy access by foot or bike.

In collaboration with the District of West Kelowna and the Glenrosa Residents’ Association, park planning comprised a significant consideration in planning the site. Over 11% of the total area will be dedicated as park or trail. A natural park with a lookout point to Okanagan Lake is offered at the summit of a bluff in the southern area of the site. A linear park links the commercial space in the east with homes in the western site area. An improved playground park will be situated adjacent the existing community, providing a hub for new and existing families to gather and play. Wildlife corridors are preserved on-site through east/west connections to the adjacent Crown land.

The application for rezoning received 2nd Reading in December 2011, and is anticipated for adoption in Spring 2012.
