Sea And Sky: A Cohesive Coast Mountain Community, Connected by TrueColour™

Located along the scenic Squamish waterfront, the Sea and Sky development by Bosa Properties is a vibrant master-planned community that reflects both its coastal setting and adventurous spirit.
To bring the design vision to life, a curated palette of James Hardie fibre cement siding—factory-finished by Fisher with our TrueColour™ pre-finishing technology—was used across multiple phases and building types.

A Dynamic Mix of Profiles:
▪ HardiePlank® Lap Siding in both smooth and cedar-mill textures adds traditional rhythm and depth.
▪ HardiePanel® Vertical Siding provides bold, clean lines for a modern aesthetic.
▪ HardieTrim® Boards combine with the vertical siding creates a classic board and batten style for a modern farmhouse aesthetic.
▪ Hardie® Artisan® Siding delivers a refined, flat surface appearance that enhances the clean, contemporary lines of the façade on the apartment buildings

Curated Colour Combinations from The James Hardie Statement Collection®
Arctic White + Iron Gray, OR
Khaki Bown, Deep Ocean, Countrylane Red paired with Night Gray + Evening Blue

Sea And Sky stands as a testament to how thoughtful material selection and expert pre-finishing can bring architectural intent to life. With TrueColour™, Fisher helped deliver a project that is not only beautiful on day one, but built to withstand the test of time in one of BC’s most iconic outdoor environments.

Naut’sa Mawt — “Together as One”

We’re proud to have supplied the siding materials for the Naut’sa Mawt project, a five-storey, 40-unit affordable housing development in Courtenay, BC. Prioritizing Indigenous Elders, individuals, and people with disabilities—alongside the Wachiay Friendship Centre—this project truly embodies the spirit of its name: Naut’sa Mawt, meaning “together as one” in Coast Salish.

The exterior of the Naut’sa Mawt multi-family project features a thoughtful combination of all three of Fisher’s James Hardie fibre cement product lines—TrueGrain Series™, Artisan WoodGrain™ and TrueColour™ in program colours that emulate the use of real wood without the maintenance.

▪ Project Type: Multi-Family
▪ Architect: MacDonald Hagarty Architects Ltd.
▪ Builder: Kinetic Construction
▪ Exteriors: H&R Exteriors
▪ Photographer: Russell Dalby
▪ Award: 2025 Vancouver Island Commercial Building Awards - Affordable Housing

This thoughtful mix of tones, textures, and profiles brings a sense of rhythm and richness to the exterior while maintaining a cohesive and durable finish.

Products + Colours:
▪ Artisan WoodGrain™ - Hardie Artisan® 10.25” Hardie® Artisan Shiplap in Nootka Cedar
▪ TrueGrain Series™ - HardiePanel® Vertical Siding in Select Cedarmill texture + HardieTrim® Rustic Grain in Cedartone applied in a classic Board and Batten style

Indigenous artwork was commissioned for the exterior of the building, which took the form of a sun and a moon, oriented respectively on the east and west facades.

This building is an outstanding example of how all three of Fisher’s fiber cement product lines can be used together—each in different profiles, finishes, and application styles—to create contrast, depth, and architectural interest.

Introducing Imbue™ Light

Now available in five modern program colours, thoughtfully curated by Fisher’s coating specialists.

Crafted from flatsawn Radiata pine and thermally modified at 190°C, Imbue™ Light offers enhanced natural durability and dimensional stability—making it an ideal choice for exterior soffits and interior wall and ceiling panelling.

Radiata pine is a rapidly renewable species grown in New Zealand, maturing up to ten times faster than traditional hardwoods like eucalyptus. Its creamy yellow hue and pronounced growth rings add a distinctive, natural aesthetic.

Also available as fully thermally modified flatsawn for exterior cladding and decking.
