Canadian Houses : Residences
Key Contemporary Residential Architecture Developments in Canada, North America
post updated 18 Jan 2021
Houses in Canada
We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Canadian Houses. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.
We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Canada. The focus is on contemporary Canadian residences but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.
We have 1 page of Canadian residential architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

Under a soaring roof resembling a nun’s cornet wimple is a roomy dwelling modelled on traditional Quebec houses of old that lodged large families and their relatives.
19 Feb 2018 La Luge Cabin, La Conception, in the Laurentides region of Quebec Architects: YH2 photography © Francis Pelletier La Luge in La Conception Mostly dedicated to the enjoyment of Quebec’s winter, La Luge is a secondary home lying in the midst of the forest.

16 Feb 2018 Window on the Lake, Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, Mauricie region, province of Quebec Architects: YH2 photography © Francis Pelletier Window on the Lake in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton The house stands on the site of an old family cottage, just steps away from the shores of Lac Plaisant in the Mauricie region. Thanks to its simplicity, restraint and refinement, the project embodies the architect’s attempt to capture the essence of cottage life – a wooden home designed for vacations and enabling true communion with nature.
9 Feb 2018 Sky House, Stoney Lake, Ontario Design: Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster photography : Doublespace Photography Sky House on Stoney Lake Negotiating the steep topography of a lake-side site, this holiday house consists of two volumes stacked on one another.

6 Feb 2018 The Wooden Wing, Lac-Supérieur, Quebec Design: YH2 architecture photography : David Marien-Landry The Wooden Wing in Lac-Supérieur The Wooden Wing is a large cottage on the shores of Lac Supérieur, in Quebec’s Laurentians.

4 Feb 2018 Withrow Laneway House, Calgary, Alberta Architects: Studio North photo : Mark Erickson Withrow Laneway House in Calgary Affordable housing in a thriving city like Calgary is a challenge for many, not the least for two newly graduated professionals starting a design studio with big dreams and a limited budget. We see alleys as a new place for community and dwelling. This project offers an opportunity to save one of Calgary’s heritage houses and to build an affordable, compact living space in the inner city.
19 Jan 2018 Indigo Lane House, Whistler, British Columbia, western Canada Design: Stark Architecture Ltd. photo © Krista Jahnke New House in Whistler, BC A crazy site! But one of the greatest things about Architecture is having lots of constraints. The more constraints, the more inventive you have to be. The site drops steeply from the road, almost a 25 ft sheer drop down to a flat site, with retaining walls below.

Journal - Midnight Maple: 12 Canadian Homes Cloaked in Black
Architects: Showcase your next project through Architizer and sign up for our inspirational newsletter.
Canadian residential design has continuously evolved alongside the country’s culture and environmental conditions. Large-scale immigration helped shape Canada into one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world, a place that mixes styles, traditions and values. Simultaneously, a northern climate with subarctic and arctic weather has greatly impacted the vernacular and modern building traditions of these diverse groups. In a country where igloos and luxury urban real estate coexist, the similarities between residential projects can be few and far between.
The following collection takes a closer look at Canadian houses wrapped in black cladding. Built with matte material envelopes that explore depth and texture, the projects stand in stark contrast to their surrounding landscapes. Designed with particular attention to craft, the projects balance privacy while providing views to the Canadian landscape. Though their exteriors are dark and solemn in nature, the projects are typically formed with warm, spacious interiors to keep out the cold. Juxtaposing different programs and outdoor areas, the houses connect to natural settings with simple geometry. Together, they begin to reflect Canada’s modern residential design culture while embracing the dark side.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fogo Island Artist Studios by Saunders Architecture, Newfoundland, Canada
Sited on an island in the North Atlantic, these artist studios were designed to respect a dramatic landscape and local culture. Created with three buildings housing six total studios, the project features bold geometry that lightly touches the natural environment. Elevated to provide views to the sea, the buildings were oriented so that occupants could observe the area’s changing seasons while the structure itself weathers over time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
La Héronnière by Alain Carle Architecte, Wentworth, Canada
La Héronnière was created as an interpretation of recycling. Exploring upcycling and renewable energy, the project reorganizes the relationships of its site to create a plateau for outdoor living. Defined by the programmatic concepts of Reuse, Supply, Occupation and Distinction, the home reflects the clients’ desire to live symbiotically and harmoniously with nature.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cross-Laminated-Timber Cottage by Kariouk Associates, Québec, Canada
Located next to a private lake in a remote, wooded location, this cottage was designed to replace a decaying, family-owned structure on the site. The home was created using dark, prefabricated cross-laminated timber that forms the project’s outer shell. The new cottage features an open spatial arrangement while using the former building’s original dimensions and orientation to the lake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bolton Residence by _naturehumaine, Bolton-Est, Canada
The Bolton Residence was located on a natural plateau within a wooded, sloping site with views to Mount Orford. The country house was built with two stacked volumes that are anchored and cantilevered on the hillside. A gable roof was used to create a more spacious interior, while the design’s utilitarian program was carved out of a black volume at the house’s center.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Salt Spring Island House by Springer Architects, British Columbia, Canada
Sited off the coast of British Columbia, the Salt Spring Island House was made atop a rocky slope surrounded by mature trees. Built around the client’s art collection, the home was created with a dark bronze, corrugated metal exterior to create minimal visual impact among its surroundings. Interior spaces were designed with continuous connection to the outside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MODERNest House 3 by MODERNest, Toronto, Canada
Opening up to create a private courtyard while taking advantage of uninterrupted skyline views, this residence was made with a contemporary and warm aesthetic. Clad with textured black wood siding, the project was formed to create shaded exterior decks, entry porches and large skylight elements.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Echo House by Kariouk Associates, Ottawa, Canada
Echo House was made as a vertical loft that opened four stories between the basement and roof. Large new parlor windows were added to capture views of the Rideau Canal and surrounding exterior space. The project’s more private spaces, like the “book vault” and den, were suspended inside the larger vertical volume.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kicking Horse Residence by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Golden, Canada
Located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Kicking Horse Residence was designed to accommodate larger family groups and directly connect to the landscape. Surrounded by an alpine forest and ski trail, the project was formed as a dense bar and open shell oriented to mountain views.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Closse Residence by _naturehumaine, Montréal, Canada
The Closse Residence was reimagined as a suburban Montréal home that embraced daylight around a central stair. This sculptural staircase was made with frosted glass, maple veneer and hot rolled steel to create a powerful focal point inside. The project’s exterior was repainted and restored, while a new dormer was added to contain an additional second-floor program.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clear Lake House by MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects, Parry Sound, Canada
Designed as a contemporary and modern cottage, Clear Lake House was created with a tent-like envelope that encompasses the interior and exterior program. Advocating an intimate scale within its forested site, the house takes advantage of the sloped site and views to the nearby lake. Three different programmatic volumes were crafted around privacy, views and separation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Wetlands by Alain Carle Architecte, Wentworth-Nord, Canada
This expertly crafted home explores the scale of rural landscapes and settlements, including large, empty spaces and aggregated building masses. Blurring hierarchies while establishing different perceptions of place, the design was imagined as a complex within an interconnected landscape. The three structures were made with black painted wood around common outdoor spaces linked by a shared base.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Treehouse by Forestgreen Creations Inc., Pelham, Canada
Featuring a cantilevered porte-cochère and tri-level design, the Treehouse is located along the Niagara Peninsula. Surrounded by a century-old Carolinian forest and vineyards, the project features floor-to-ceiling glazing and an outdoor area for enjoying views to the landscape.

2019 World Monuments Watch
Wentworth Woodhouse, the largest house in the United Kingdom, was built and expanded to a colossal scale by successive generations of owners in the eighteenth century, to the designs of many of the most celebrated architects and craftsmen of the day. Behind the Palladian east façade—which lays claim to be the longest in the country—lie suites of lavish state rooms, decorated with first-rate finishes of marble, scagliola, ornate plasterwork, and decorated paneling.
Under Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham (1730-1782), who served two brief terms as Prime Minister of Great Britain, Wentworth Woodhouse became a hub of political and social life in the north of England, befitting the architectural transformation that was begun by his father.
The grounds of the estate were mined for coal during the shortage that followed the end of World War II and the damage caused by this gesture of antagonism towards the house’s aristocratic owners was the first step in a steady process of deterioration and decline. Many decades later, and after passing through many subsequent owners, the house is now one of the most important historic buildings at risk in the United Kingdom. In spite of its prominence, it remains understudied and underappreciated due to its limited access to the public.
entworth Woodhouse is currently on sale, and a coalition of advocates is mounting a bid to purchase the house on behalf of a building preservation trust. The trust’s plan would see the most significant interior spaces of the house opened for visit, while other areas would be turned into residential units, and yet other spaces would be used commercially as venues for hire.
These investments would provide much-needed revenue for the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust, as restoration of the house is sure to be a massive undertaking, currently estimated to cost more than £40 million. Growing interest in the fate of this landmark of British architectural heritage reflects the need to ensure its preservation for the public benefit. The 2016 World Monuments Watch supports the active effort to raise the funds to purchase the property and secure the site’s future.
In November 2016 the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the allocation of £7.6 million for urgent repairs and the implementation of a vision for the reuse of the house. In March 2017 the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust announced the purchase of the building with funds collected from grants, pledges, and donations. The trust also announced a twenty-year comprehensive restoration plan that will be implemented while keeping the building open to the public.

Under Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham (1730-1782), who served two brief terms as Prime Minister of Great Britain, Wentworth Woodhouse became a hub of political and social life in the north of England, befitting the architectural transformation that was begun by his father.
The grounds of the estate were mined for coal during the shortage that followed the end of World War II and the damage caused by this gesture of antagonism towards the house’s aristocratic owners was the first step in a steady process of deterioration and decline. Many decades later, and after passing through many subsequent owners, the house is now one of the most important historic buildings at risk in the United Kingdom. In spite of its prominence, it remains understudied and underappreciated due to its limited access to the public.
entworth Woodhouse is currently on sale, and a coalition of advocates is mounting a bid to purchase the house on behalf of a building preservation trust. The trust’s plan would see the most significant interior spaces of the house opened for visit, while other areas would be turned into residential units, and yet other spaces would be used commercially as venues for hire.
These investments would provide much-needed revenue for the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust, as restoration of the house is sure to be a massive undertaking, currently estimated to cost more than £40 million. Growing interest in the fate of this landmark of British architectural heritage reflects the need to ensure its preservation for the public benefit. The 2016 World Monuments Watch supports the active effort to raise the funds to purchase the property and secure the site’s future.
In November 2016 the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the allocation of £7.6 million for urgent repairs and the implementation of a vision for the reuse of the house. In March 2017 the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust announced the purchase of the building with funds collected from grants, pledges, and donations. The trust also announced a twenty-year comprehensive restoration plan that will be implemented while keeping the building open to the public.

6 Crucial Rules for Renovating Your Basement
Sisoje/iStock
A good basement renovation can provide extra living space and increase the value of your home, so for most homeowners, fixing it up is a no-brainer if they have the cash. But a botched remodel can turn this subterranean space into a money pit.
To help you consider this type of revamp from every angle, we spoke with designers, builders, real estate agents, and other experts to uncover the rules everyone taking on a basement renovation must follow—or risk disaster.
1. Check codes and regulations
Sure, it’s your house, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to it. Your home’s structure and local regulations may limit your options.
“Basements present a unique set of code restrictions that need to be considered before spending too much time and money on project development,” says Kurt Hakansson of the Hakansson Design Group, in Boston.
Once high-level goals for a project have been established, Hakansson always brings in an experienced, licensed general contractor to review the project and identify any potential code obstacles.
2. Think highly of the ceiling

Ceiling height is an important consideration when renovating a basement, but many homeowners underestimate how tall it should be.
“I find that most basements have shorter ceiling heights, and when you start adding wiring and potentially raising the floor for plumbing, etcetera, the ceiling height ends up very low, probably less than 8 feet,” says Michael Hershkowitz of REDOnyc, an interior renovation group in New York City.
Make sure your basement ceilings are at least 8 feet tall; that should ensure the room doesn’t feel so confined.

3. Ensure the basement is dry
In some ways, renovating a basement is like going out in public with a baby: First you need to check to see if it’s dry. Before spending money on drywall or flooring, be sure your basement floor and walls are completely dry—and will stay that way.
“Adding a perimeter drainage system is a must since even in a new home, water can find its way inside,” says Thomas B. Wagner, a residential architect in Haddonfield, NJ. Also, before you install the flooring, Wagner recommends that you put down a plastic vapor barrier to keep moisture from coming up through the floor and creating a mold situation.
“Basements can be cool, damp, and stuffy, and all of these contribute to mold and mildew,” says Hakansson. So, you need to circulate air and remove moisture.
“Installing a good heating and air-conditioning system, along with a dehumidifier, will ensure that the room won’t be a hospitable environment for mold,” Hakansson says.
Adding a couple of windows or a door will also help with ventilation.
4. Have at least two escape routes

While we’re on the subject of windows, they do more than just improve air circulation.
“If you do the renovation legally to code and you want a bedroom and full bathroom, you must have two means of egress, meaning exits to escape in case of fire,” says Hershkowitz.
However, there’s more to it than just picking a location for the window and cutting out a square.
“All bedrooms require an egress window, but check your local code for size and placement,” says Erin Davis, lead designer at Mosaik Design and Remodeling, in Portland, OR.
She recommends working with a professional to determine the best location.
“Egress windows can vary in price depending on level of difficulty, condition of foundation, wall size, and adjacent landscaping,” she says.
5. Install ample lighting
Photo by Curt Hofer & Associates Unless you’re trying to create a medieval dungeon vibe, you’ll want to be strategic about the lighting in your basement so it doesn’t appear too dark. Look into adding natural light through windows or French doors, advises Michael Schienke, director and chartered architect at Vorbild Architecture.
And don’t skimp on other light sources. “Consider adding in another layer of general lighting like pendants or chandeliers that hang close to the ceiling,” says Lauren Smyth, interior designer at Alturas Homes, in Eagle, ID. In a wide-open basement, this can help define specific areas.
6. Don’t go too custom
By all means, renovate your basement to your tastes, but choosing decor that’s a little too you could hurt your prospects of selling your home in the future.
“I’ve seen a lot of basements converted to theaters, poker rooms, and gyms,” says Jennifer Okhova, a real estate agent with Compass in Los Angeles.
While those rooms can be major selling points, it’s important to make sure your basement can be easily converted into a nonspecific space. Yes, installing a Tiki bar may seem like a worthwhile endeavor now, but the folks who eventually buy your home may not feel the same way. Even if you don’t plan on ever selling your home, you should consider how your needs will change over the years. Maybe your affinity for rum-based mixed drinks is just a passing phase.
