Today's Feature Home
belongs to Danny and Ilva
Larizza 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-
strucuon.

Taking four months to
design and ten months to
build, Danny's main concer
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
