A Sanctuary for Convalescence & Creative Stays

Agassiz, British Columbia

Nearing architectural completion, The Warren Retreat is preparing to welcome its first residents this January. If our space aligns with your journey, we invite you to submit a Residency Inquiry below.

PROPERTY

Nestled in rural Agassiz, BC—where the wild elements of the Pacific Northwest meet the grounding rhythm of heritage farmland—The Warren Retreat is a single-level, two-bedroom, rancher engineered around the principles of universal accessibility and frictionless living. Built exclusively for extended stays, it operates as a self-directed residence, intentionally designed to eliminate environmental strain and serve as a soft landing for resilience, restoration, and dedicated focus.

Our 29-to-90-day residencies are built for the quiet, deliberate act of gathering back your internal power. We curate our calendar for three specific chapters of life.

PURPOSE

Creative

An ergonomic, distraction-free nest for digital and spatial professionals—illustrators, writers, web developers, and architects—living with accessibility needs, or dedicated to human-centered design.

Restoration

A refined, restorative soft landing for healthcare and inclusion specialists to completely decompress and recharge from the rigors of caregiving and systemic advocacy.

Healing

A sanctuary engineered for physical ease, supporting individuals navigating post-operative recovery or a transitional chapter of life where the built environment is paramount.

RESIDENCY INQUIRY

Please let us know your preferred dates for a 29-to-90-day stay, what brings you to The Warren Retreat, and any specific requirements you have for autonomy, a caregiver, or a certified service dog.

RESIDENCY DETAILS

29-to-90-Day Stays

Whether navigating post-operative healing—like recovering from a hip replacement—or dedicated to a period of creative focus, our 29-day minimum stay is intentionally structured to give you the space needed to establish an uninterrupted rhythm of recovery and ease.

Pricing

To celebrate our opening season, we are offering an introductory rate of $250 per night for our 29-day blocks. This flat rate is fully inclusive of all utilities, with no added hospitality taxes or fees.

Sanctuary Refresh

Once a month, we include a professional refresh—a light cleaning of the space and laundering of your linens using pure, plant-based, scent-free products to keep the air clear and the home healthy.

Self-Directed Autonomy

While engineered with deep physical empathy, the residence operates as a self-managed space rather than a clinical facility. We are passionate stewards of the grounds, but do not provide personal care or medical assistance.

Shared Creative Ecosystem

The surrounding outdoor gardens and our clean-tech digital garage studio are the only shared, low-impact spaces on the property—enjoyed by hosts and residents alike to foster a calm, creative energy.

We utilize Universal Design (UD) to minimize the small, exhausting hurdles of daily life, elevating personal autonomy.

FRICTIONLESS DESIGN

Seamless Entry

Designed on a single, flush plane, the residence features full one-level living, wide three-foot doorways throughout, and seamless zero-step ramp access (coming soon).

Intuitive Bathrooms

The main bathroom offers a five-foot turning radius within a curbless, wetroom-style layout, featuring a zero-entry roll-in shower with architectural side-transfer support and robust grab bars. An integrated bidet system ensures complete personal autonomy and effortless independence.

Culinary Space

Engineered for an effortless daily rhythm, the kitchen features a wide-clearance layout with recessed toe-kicks and minimalist, push-to-open cabinetry. An open, roll-under sink paired with a voice-automated hood fan eliminates physical reach barriers, offering independence to your culinary experience.

Tactile Ease

Lowered switches and intuitive lever hardware are placed at an effortless height to optimize natural movement. Bedrooms feature open-access closet nooks to remove door barriers, while custom cabinetry throughout utilizes heavy wire-brushed Ash finished in a pure, zero-VOC plant oil—preserving the raw, non-toxic texture of the wood grain.

Outdoor Sanctuary

The interior transitions onto a flat, 400-square-foot patio. Partially covered and featuring an at-level barbecue, the space extends into the landscape as an accessible sanctuary.

Framed by western red cedars and Douglas firs, the deck looks down through the canopy to Miami Creek, where you can observe the salmon-bearing stream and visiting wildlife like beavers, otters, coho salmon, and the native Salish sucker.

YOUR HOSTS

The Warren Retreat was custom-built by its hosts, inspired by our own family members aging, recovering from injuries, or living with diverse physical needs.

Realizing how deeply the built environment impacts personal dignity, we designed this space to show that uncompromising architectural beauty and physical ease naturally belong together.

Managed from our home nearby in Agassiz, this retreat is simply our way of offering a seamless, restorative space for you to enjoy.
