Kookaburra begins

One of Sun Peaks’ newest developments, the Kookaburra Lodge,
will soon be under construction.
The Kookaburra Lodge is a development of Australian architect Jim
Farrell and his family—including his son Paul Farrell, who is currently
at Sun Peaks developing the project—and will contain luxury apart-
ment accommodation suitable for longer stays, as well as eight
commercial spaces. Construction is set to begin in April, when the
weather turns warm.
The Farrell family has over 30 years of experience in the develop-
ment industry and has managed projects ranging from high-rise to
high-profile sporting facilities and resort accommodation.
Paul Farrell says the long-term accommodation is set to be sold out
for stage one of development by the summer.
With a creekside location across from the Sports Centre, and over-
looking the 18th fairway at the golf course, the Kookaburra Lodge will
feature the typical Sun Peaks village Tyrolean-style architecture, but
Farrell says they’ve worked on some of the “finer details for a design
that’s creative and modern but still embraces the character of the
village as a whole.” The building will also feature lofted timber
ceilings in the top-level suites, energy saving and environmentally
sensitive and sustainable features, superior perimeter insulation, and
cold roof design features.
Construction is planned to be complete for the 2008/2009 winter
season. For more information visit www.kookaburralodge.ca
