Coley’s Point House, Canada
Nestled within the serene coastal landscape of Coley’s Point, this contemplative residence embraces its dramatic maritime setting with restrained elegance. Composed of intersecting gable and mono-pitched volumes, the form echoes the quiet vernacular of Newfoundland’s built tradition while articulating a modern silhouette.
Textural contrast defines the exterior: vertical, dark-grey cladding juxtaposed with crisp, horizontal white wood siding to sculpt nuanced interplay of light and shadow. Strategic window placement frame extended views of the harbor, drawing the sea into daily life, while sheltered courtyard spaces mediate between interior comfort and coastal exposure.
Inside, the home is designed with an emphasis on simplicity, light, and connection to its surroundings. Expansive windows fill the living areas with natural light throughout the day, while warm, carefully chosen finishes create a sense of intimacy against the wide horizon outside.
Spaces are arranged to encourage both quiet retreat and moments of gathering, with views and movement thoughtfully considered at every turn. The overall effect is one of balance, between openness and shelter, tradition and modernity, landscape and dwelling.
More than a residence, Coley’s Point House stands as a reflection of its setting, offering calm, clarity, and enduring connection to the rugged Newfoundland coast. It is a home that feels both timeless and deeply rooted, shaped by the rhythms of land and sea.
