Architect:

Neil Ironside

Built as a country home, this custom structure replaced an existing cottage built on the side of a hill. The architectural vision was to create an affordable, private home that would work for a growing family and eventually as a retirement residence. Oversized windows were utilized to maximize gorgeous views of the backyard pond and fill the home with bright, natural light. Meanwhile, a unique and decorative “brise soleil” (French for sun breaker) was designed on the exterior ground level to assist the geothermal heating and cooling equipment, protecting the enormous amount of glass from overheating.
