This  detached residence complements the continuity of the streestcape of an older neighbourhood, by taking cues from the massing, roof lines, materials, setbacks, and the relationships between the street and the front façade of the existing houses. The architecture though breaks with tradition by including floor to ceiling glazing in the front on the three storeys, giving it a thoroughly modern look.  The roof of the sunken garage, set back on the property, serves as a small terrace. On the third floor, another roof terrace offers a private space for retreat. The landscaped backyard is an extension of the house, responding with  a vertical swath of floor to ceiling windows and balconies. As a counterpoint, another vertical swath of stone on the rear façade for the chimney evokes images of a cozy interior with an imposing fireplace. The final result is a comfortable home that is bright and spacious and full of beautiful quiet spaces, indoor and out, for comfortable contemplation.
