House in El Torón / Ignacio Urquiza Arquitectos
The House in El Torón is the first to be designed within this reserve, and its conception emerged from two premises that enabled us to question and rethink the idea of a house on the coast.
vacation house
Shoemaker House by Jaime Juárez R. Arquitecto
Located in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico), Shoemaker House is a vacation home built on top of a pronounced semi-arid slope; this last element served as the basis for the creative development of the project and helps to achieve a balanced vision between low cost and functionality.
Dragonfly Vacation House, Montana / Olson Kundig
The Dragonfly Vacation house emphasizes the crossing point between these two ecological zones – a distinct yet subtle marker of the family’s presence and legacy.
Tofino Beach House by Olson Kundig
Composed primarily of one large room, the Tofino Beach house is light-filled on the south side facing the ocean, and insular and protected on the other side, paneled in dark, rich wood.
Retreat on a Pond’s Edge / Elliott Architects
Access to the residence is via a winding gravel road, through dense forest with occasional glimpses of the pond. Arriving at a small parking area, the house remains hidden behind a stand of spruce.
Muskoka Modern Prefab Cottage / Altius Architecture
This one was water access only, and was installed from the lake side. There was an existing cottage on the site, and after consulting with the municipality and using some site sensitivity we decided to grandfather the location of the existing building. So after removing the old cottage, we replaced it with this new bunkie on the same site.
Manitoulin Island Off-Grid House / Solares Architecture
Manitoulin Island Off-Grid House sits quietly on a coastal property on Lake Huron. Varied ceiling heights, expansive sliding doors, and well-placed windows bring light into the home that changes throughout the day and the seasons.
Cottage Pod Bukovou / Mjölk Architects
The Cottage Pod Bukovou is cozy. The flames of the fire lick the glass in the large fireplace, the wood cracks and pillows of white Jizera mist roll over the windows.
Main Ridge Weekend Barn by Bryant Alsop
This new build was designed for an English couple looking to create a ‘weekend barn’ for use with friends and family, as well as a high-end holiday rental.
