Today's Feature Home
belongs to Danny and Iiva
Lanzza of Lynn Valley. A
large, practical family home
of 4,800 square feet, it has
four bedrooms, an office,
three fireplaces, and a
double garage. Designed by
Tony Adamo, Danny
contracted out some of the
work and also took part in a
large part of the con-
struction.

Taking four months to
design and ten months to
build, Danny's main concern
was (to build a high quality
home. Great attention to
detail is evident throughout
such as using 2x6's_ for
construction instead of 2x4's
and 2x10's for the roof. The
entire house’ is over-
insulated including the
garage. Another energy-
saving Measure was to instal
a five-zone hot water heating
system and a Bell radiant
heat fireplace in the family
room and = double glazed
windows throughout

The living room has a
fireplace made of Cameco
stone from Cahfornia and 1s
filled with furniture of a
contemporary design
Outside the living room 1s

microwave oven. a built-in
slave and counter top
