Beach House: Lake Archambault Residence sits on the shore of Lake Archambault in Québec, Canada, a new house by Ghoche architecte. Composed as a low, quiet arrangement of volumes, the project turns to light, water, and native planting rather than overt expression. The result reads as a clear coastal gesture tuned to a northern lake climate.
Project 21 lands in Ancaster, Canada, with a quiet confidence and an eye on longevity. Designed by SMPL Design Studio as a house for a young family, it leans into calm materials, measured asymmetry, and tailored millwork to set a restorative tone. The result favors warmth over gloss and movement over fuss, with curved gestures and tactile finishes threading through rooms meant to evolve as daily rhythms change.
Periscope House is a house in Toronto, Canada, designed by Atelier RZLBD for a young family seeking a more personal, sustainable way to live. The project renovates a one-story bungalow and strategically adds a partial second floor, using subtraction as a tool for light, height, and clarity. What began as a straightforward addition becomes a study in restraint and sequence, with voids pulling daylight deep into the plan and giving the street a memorable new profile.
La Croix unfolds along a Canadian mountainside, a house by Luc Plante architecture + design that tracks the slope with split levels and sweeping gables. The residence organizes daily life around an open living floor with a double-sided hearth and views toward the Eastern Townships. Clad in masonry and metal, it reads contemporary yet composed, with geometry tuned to light and the wooded site.
Ravine Residence sits in Toronto, Canada, where Akb Architects renew a historic coach house with a three‑storey rear addition. The house tucks into South Rosedale’s trees and turns toward the ravine, pairing a walk‑out level with calm, pared‑back rooms. Inside, light oak floors, sheer curtains, and measured details give the renovation a quiet register suited to a busy owner. The work reads fresh yet grounded.
Crescent House Renovation anchors a classic Toronto, Canada house with a contemporary rear addition by Akb Architects. The project refreshes period rooms while opening the back to light, landscape, and everyday meals. In two moves, it respects ornate plaster and marble up front, then pivots to long panes, warm wood, and a garden-focused kitchen at the rear.
Ridge on the Chimney lands in Chimney Corner, Canada, as a quartet of rental cottages by Mackay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects on Cape Breton’s western shore. Framed by cliffs and mountains, the house-scaled cabins draw from local barns and fish shacks while answering fierce coastal winds. The project works as hospitality, yes, but it also reads as a careful study of vernacular form, rugged climate, and the rituals of retreat.
Thompson House sets down on a steep site in West Vancouver, Canada, where harbour and mountain views pull in opposite directions. Designed by splyce design, the house navigates that tension with long cedar wing walls, covered decks, and a pinwheel roof that coax light and privacy into balance. It’s a house for gathering, but also for retreat, with circulation that choreographs movement and sightlines across levels.
