The Sitka Spruce House designed by Boutique Architecture Design Studio may be small, but this compact family home packs a punch when it comes to the cool factor. By day, the large picture windows serve to flood interiors with natural light while framing thoughtful views of nature and neighbourhood. By night, illuminated interiors create a warm, inviting lantern effect that tempts passersby to sneak a peek and catch a glimpse of a truly pampered lifestyle. Here's a tour of this lovely little minimal house.
Located among a scattering of houses in this residential area of Toronto, Ontario, the solid faced of this wood cladding home offers privacy to its residents while still enjoying a greater sense of community. It makes a one-of-a-kind addition to this area, a harmony with the neighbours.
"The Sitka Spruce House, a compact home for a young family of four, occupies a small site in Avenue Road, a historic residential district in Toronto with new homes by new generation of architects". Now, that's some stiff competition. But rather than competing with its neighbours, the architect designed a house that stands out on its own, more modern merits.
