Tough Residence

In 2014, Cam Tough and his mother Marion requested ABC’s assistance to renovate an old existing home in Boundary Bay but Alex, in conjunction with his brother Cedric Burgers Principal Architect at Burgers Architect Inc. (BAI), persuaded the Tough’s to rethink demolishing the home and instead developed a plan for a new home. The end result was a BAI-designed, 4,300 sq. ft. single family residence with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, housed on a lot with a 180-degree waterfront view and beachfront access.

ABC assisted with the hiring and coordination of the Architect, Structural Engineer, and Geotechnical Engineer. A Water Hydraulics Consultant was also hired to design the rip rap rock to be installed against the sea wall protecting the property. ABC also assisted with preliminary Class D budgeting and scheduling. In 2016, a Development Permit was submitted to the City of Delta but unfortunately the project did not proceed due to financial and timing concerns. However, ABC holds out hope that one day the project will be revived, and the masterpiece will be constructed.
