Design of a contemporary residence that responds to the landscape while seamlessly integrating within an established community.
The project allowed for a sense of openness to be brought into the space, and was one of the major design intentions that guided all aspects of our creative work for this client.
Large windows to maximize natural lighting.
Reading nook and framed view into the rear yard.
Cascading water feature.
Day-lit staircase into the main living level.
Media room in sunken courtyard.
Sight-lines and solar exposure were carefully considered to that effect. The selection of durable materials such as brick, concrete and zinc panelling speaks to the desire of the clients to live in a residence that will gracefully acquire patina and texture that lasts and projects lasting character that gracefully embeds itself into the neighbourhood.
Custom corten steel plates were embedded into the concrete landscape stairs to create a unique water feature at the residence, without detracting from the area's natural surroundings.
