coastal home

ingonish, cape breton, nova scotia

completed 2018

​

Our clients have returned to the island, embracing this next exhilarating chapter of life in a home designed to evolve with them, meeting their needs today while anticipating the future.

​

From the heart of the house, an open kitchen, dining, and living space unfolds toward the untamed beauty of Cape Breton Island. Waves crash against the shore, their rhythm echoing through the air, while the vast sky and endless ocean pour in through soaring windows. The roofline lifts, a subtle gesture toward the horizon, creating a cathedral-like expanse that feels both sheltering and limitless.

Flanked by serene bedrooms on either end, the home finds balance between openness and retreat. To the rear, a lean-to houses the essential functions, keeping the focus on what matters most—connection to the land, the sea, and the life unfolding within.
