Project Nature House

Residence

Set on a large wooded property outside Toronto, this 50-year-old bungalow with midcentury bones became a tranquil, contemporary family home designed to let nature take the lead. All about immersion in landscape, the clean modern lines and natural materials allow the views to take the stage. Warm walnut millwork, indoor-outdoor spaces, and floor-to-ceiling glass welcome dappled forest light and create a deep, effortless connection to the land.
