Tucked away in the Township of Clearview, Simcoe County, a sprawling 5-hectare plot stays true to its agrarian roots while making room for a new family home. The project? A modern house grounded in local tradition, blending seamlessly with its rural surroundings. The challenge was clear: unite the natural landscape and the built environment, each with its own function and form. The solution? Keep the central berm, a natural wind barrier, and weave it into the design. The new driveway, workshop, and house were laid out to the east in a horizontal scheme, drawing the volumes together in a carefully choreographed relationship.
