"Working with Dane was the best decision we made on this project. He understood our pro forma from day one and designed around it — not against it."
Jordan M. · Residential developer, Kelowna
"We see a lot of very square boxes — this one definitely set itself apart. I wanted to applaud the form and character of this building."
Loyal Wooldridge · City of Kelowna Councilor
