The Bhatt Family run a very successful international business from Port Coquitlam. They moved to Canada in 2003 and have since made this their home as their company has grown from strength to strength. Their company- Natu’oil was started by Mr. and Mrs. Bhatt with humble beginnings from the basement of their home. Today Natu’oil is one of the largest importers of packaged palm oil and energy supplements and a clear leader in introducing sustainable refined palm oil in North America. Headquartered in Port Coquitlam, Natu’oil global reach extends to Malaysia, USA, Singapore and India. Beyond this, they are known for their numerous Philanthropic ventures. London Design Office were given the task to create a home that not only caters to The Bhatt Family’s needs but celebrates their hard work and success. We aspired to create something unique that takes advantage of the natural beauty of the site. Our modern architectural style would cater to the spatial requirements of the family’s lifestyle yet sit delicately in its natural context.
