Building Sustainable Luxury: How Kennedy Creates Eco-Friendly Custom Homes
At Kennedy Construction, we believe that building a custom home is an opportunity to bring your vision to life while creating a space that is comfortable, efficient, and ready for the future. Based in North Vancouver and serving the surrounding areas, we specialize in designing and constructing custom homes that combine timeless style with advanced building science. Our team brings over 20 years of experience, managing every stage of the process from the first consultation to the final handover.
Sustainable luxury is at the heart of our approach. For us, a high-end home is more than premium finishes and striking architecture, it’s a structure built for long-term performance, energy efficiency, and healthier living. By integrating proven sustainable building methods into every project, we create homes that are as beautiful to live in as they are durable and environmentally responsible.

A Process Built Around You
Every Kennedy project begins with a Discovery and Consultation phase, where we take the time to understand your goals, priorities, budget, and site considerations. Whether you’re starting with architectural plans or just an idea, we can work with your chosen designer or connect you with one of our trusted partners. From there, we guide you through Design and Planning, collaborating with architects, structural engineers, and energy consultants to create a home that meets your lifestyle needs and sustainability goals.
We also take care of permitting and municipal approvals, navigating the process so your project moves forward smoothly. Once construction begins, our team manages the build with precision and attention to detail, ensuring that every step meets our standards for quality and performance. By the time we hand over the keys, your home is not only stunning but also ready to perform for decades.
Building Science at the Core
Performance starts with the building envelope; the combination of walls, windows, doors, roof, and foundation that protects the interior from the elements. We use building science to optimize this envelope for airtightness, insulation, and durability. This includes continuous exterior insulation to prevent heat loss, airtight construction to eliminate drafts, triple-glazed low-E windows for better thermal performance and natural light, and insulated exterior doors to maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
These features reduce energy use, improve comfort, and create a quieter home. By going beyond current BC Energy Step Code requirements, we deliver a higher standard of efficiency that future-proofs your investment and supports a more sustainable community.



Tailored for the North Shore Climate
North Vancouver’s coastal climate presents unique challenges and opportunities. Our homes are built to handle wet winters, prevent moisture-related issues like mold, and take advantage of the region’s mild summers. We incorporate moisture management strategies, rain screen systems, and durable exterior materials designed to withstand the elements while maintaining their appearance and performance over time.
Materials That Matter
We carefully select materials for their performance, longevity, and environmental impact. This includes responsibly sourced lumber, low-VOC finishes that improve indoor air quality, and moisture-resistant building products that protect against the coastal climate. Whenever possible, we source locally to reduce transportation emissions and support the BC economy.
In a sustainable luxury home, materials do more than look good—they play a role in creating a healthier living environment, reducing maintenance needs, and ensuring the home ages gracefully.
Comfort, Health, and Efficiency
True luxury is about how a home feels. Our designs prioritize comfort through balanced heating and cooling, fresh-air ventilation, and acoustically insulated interiors. Energy-efficient mechanical systems, such as heat recovery ventilation, ensure that the air inside is fresh and filtered year-round. These systems work together to maintain an even temperature, reduce allergens, and lower energy costs.
For homeowners with specific wellness goals, we can integrate features that further enhance indoor environmental quality, such as advanced filtration systems, natural lighting strategies, and hypoallergenic finishes.
Collaboration from Start to Finish
We believe the best homes are built through collaboration. By involving architects, engineers, and trade professionals early in the process, we ensure that every design decision supports both the visual and performance goals of the home. Our team coordinates every detail, providing you with clear updates, transparent timelines, and a smooth path from design to move-in day.


Investing in the Future
Choosing a sustainable custom home is an investment in long-term value. Energy-efficient construction reduces monthly operating costs and protects you from rising utility rates. Durable materials and advanced building techniques lower maintenance expenses. And as sustainability becomes a priority for more buyers, homes built to high-performance standards will continue to hold strong appeal in the market.
