Luxurious Forest House, Canada
Forest House was artfully designed around its relationship with the mature urban forest across the street. The forest is ever present inside the home, acting as a backdrop as one moves through the interior. Each room offers a unique perspective on the woodland, which culminates in a lofted living room with two-storey glass wall. From the wraparound deck, the wilderness forms a stunning backdrop to an outdoor living room.
Multiple entry and exit points, glass-to-glass corner windows and large, sliding doors meld indoor and outdoor living, whether for the family or when entertaining.
As critical to the design as the views, the exterior of the home had to fit into the neighbourhood context of heritage homes and contemporary structures. We created a push-pull of modern massing with cantilevers, spine details and recessed elements to create shadow lines and dimension. Then, we softened the glass-dominant façade with highly textured, natural materials including Abodo wood and stone.
The result is a home perfectly nestled into its environment, an oasis from bustling city life just blocks away.
