ABC Home is a house in Smiths Falls, Canada, by Kariouk Architects. Set on a two-hundred-acre rural site in eastern Ontario, it answers a forested wetland landscape with a low, three-pavilion plan. Glassed-in links, wood siding, and local slate help the home sit quietly among the animals, trees, and seasonal change around it.
Maison du Lac Perdu is a house in Wentworth-Nord, Québec, Canada, designed by Ravi Handa Architect in 2025. Set in the Laurentians, it sits on a plateau at the edge of forest and water. The project turns to the site’s trees, slope, and light rather than to a single front, and its two-volume plan keeps private rooms and shared living areas in careful balance.
Scotch Chalet is a compact chalet in Québec, Canada, by CARTA. Set on a forested plateau in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, the project answers a Nordic climate with a restrained form, pale grey cladding, and a plan that supports both gathering and quiet retreat. Its low profile and light-filled interior give the cabin a calm, durable presence in the trees.

Sagamore North Cottage is a house in Muskoka District Municipality, ON, Canada, designed by Akb Architects for life close to the water and tucked from passing boats. Completed in 2025, the all-season retreat follows the island’s slope and uses dark cladding, broad roof planes, and sliding glass walls to balance privacy with long views, family gatherings, and quieter moments alone.
House 117 is a house in Toronto, Canada, designed by Izen Architecture, with interiors developed in collaboration with DS Interiors.

Light moves deep into the home through cut openings, recessed windows, and a skylit shower.
Timbertop House is a house in Canada by Akb Architects, conceived as a contemporary weekend retreat for an active family of five. Designed in 2024, the project draws on the language of local farm buildings while adjusting its gabled form to the site’s uneven terrain and long views across the Niagara Escarpment. Inside, a single-story plan and durable materials support daily use in every season.
