A Timeless Way of Building HANSON LAND & SEA
A Timeless Way of Building
HANSON LAND & SEA
IF you’ve lived here on the Coast for any length of time, chances are you’ve heard the name Hanson Land & Sea. Or maybe you’ve seen some of their custom designed projects that dot the landscape from Langdale to Powell River. Ryan and Marlin Hanson are third generation builders and it shows in the passion they have for their work.
Over the years they have put together a tight knit crew of skilled carpenters and cra sman, creating a unique combination of contemporary West Coast architecture. As the name would imply, they have experience in marine construction also. Before focusing primarily on custom homes they made their living pile driving, building piers along the B.C coast. The heavy timbers required to construct piers and docks continue to inspire their designs. Massive beams, simple and strong traditional methods of joinery, and natural materials help to create homes that are built to last for generations.
“Utilizing materials native to our area is key for us. Function and form are laid out well in nature. Cedar is a beautiful and great exterior material, for example. Second-growth fir is a sustainable and affordable structural material. All are available locally if you know where to look and how to
deal with the raw material.” Says Marlin. Locally sourced natural products play a huge part of the brother’s design.
Their services range from new construction, renovations, timber framing and marine systems. Their passion is in design built projects, from the initial site visit and land clearing to final landscaping. They have also worked closely with some of the best architects in the province and enjoy the collaborative process.
With their diversified skill set and generations of experience, HL&S pride themselves on creating beautiful, well built custom homes, part of the Sunshine Coast for generations to come. With offices in Gibsons and Powell River their team is never far away.something even more important. Something that is a byproduct of doing what you love to do... Happy customers.
