Blog: The Ultimate Guide To Building a Custom Home ⬇️

Are you considering building a custom home? Where

Are you considering building a custom home? Where do you begin? “The answer is never the same but it does start with questions, and a good designer will ask a lot of questions. My first question is why do you want to build a custom home? This simple question is sometimes not so easy to answer, however, it is the most important question to understand. Every building is built with the intended purpose and the design should be a response to the reason for the build.” 🏠Today on the blog we’re sharing “The Ultimate Guide to Building a Custom Home.” Follow the link in our bio for valuable information if you’re embarking on a custom build.

“Not surprisingly, COVID-19 has resulted in an increase in our clients’ interest in prioritizing a home office into their new build or considering renovations to add one to their home. Whether you’ve allocated a space in your bedroom for your laptop, or you’re taking over the family’s dining table, most are realizing that if working from home is the way of the future, a longer-term solution is worth investing in.” 👩🏻‍💻Follow the link in our bio to read more on our blog.

Talking about design for indoor/outdoor living on our blog today. At our Woodland Ridge project, these 18ft long floor-to-ceiling windows were designed to completely open up to a covered outdoor living space creating one large room with panoramic views of the surrounding forest.🌲More on the blog - Link in Bio!

Our most recent project features a courtyard with a large tree and a secret entrance. 🌿 “Courtyards provide an opportunity to bring the outdoors in, giving access to natural daylight, views to outside, and cross ventilation in the summer months. One of the biggest advantages of having a courtyard is providing visual and physical access to nature, which has been proven to have a positive benefit on mental and physical health.” Read more about Using Courtyards to Bring the Outside In on our blog – link in bio!

“Limited access to parks and public spaces due t

“Limited access to parks and public spaces due to the COVID-19 pandemic left us devoid of our need for fresh air, bright sunlight, and space to run around. Following a long Canadian winter, further extending our time indoors was particularly challenging. As architects and homeowners, however, this was the perfect time for us to dream up landscape plans.” 🌳Our approach to landscape design has always been "from the inside out."

“What would be the perfect lot to build your hom

“What would be the perfect lot to build your home or cottage on? Would it have a ton of mature trees, and maybe even a ravine? Would the lot slope away from the street, creating a great opportunity for a walk-out basement? Are you able to envision your pool with a backdrop of a dense forest, creating both privacy and a beautiful vista? Chances are, you’ll need to know what steps to take when building a home on a TRCA regulated area.” 🌿Follow the link in our bio to read more on the blog.

Since we won’t be heading to our cottages this May long weekend, what better time to dream up plans for future building projects. Whether your planning on building a lake front cottage or better yet, a home that feels like a cottage getaway, the first step is finding the perfect building site. Today on the blog we’re featuring our Guide to Finding the Right Building Site. Follow the link in our bio to read more. ⁣

Hello! We took a brief hiatus from posting on social media as we worked through the uncertainties of the last month. We’re back today on our blog with some thoughts on how COVID-19 will impact domestic design, and how our clients wants and needs will change. ⠀⁣

“The pandemic has brought importance of design at all scales to the forefront of our minds – from healthcare institutions and airports, down to the design of door handles and personal protective equipment. As architects focused on domestic spaces, we are embracing this opportunity to re-think how we design homes. During the time of crisis, our homes have served as our offices, schoolrooms, gyms, and most importantly, as our place of refuge. This pause has given us the time to become intimately familiar with our spaces, to embrace what we love about our homes, and to pinpoint with clarity the parts that need re-thinking.”⠀⁣
