Glenora Modern House, Canada
Designing a modern home in an historical neighbourhood is often met with challenges, from protecting the mature urban forest and working with irregular lots to earning the support of an established community. Glenora Modern was no exception.
To distill these considerations into a cohesive architectural vision, we listened, we spent hours becoming familiar with the ebb and flow of the site, and we had extensive consultation with the City of Edmonton — all to ensure the home was making a meaningful design contribution to the community.
The result is an heirloom family home that reflects its owners’ modern sensibilities while acknowledging the massing, details, materials and siting of the established homes around it. The home is built upon a lot that becomes much wider towards the rear. The massing is arranged accordingly, with the narrower garage positioned towards the front of the home, and the broader primary living spaces opening up to the full width of the beautifully treed back yard.
Inside, carefully considered sightlines keep the atmosphere open and airy while maintaining privacy from the street. From the second storey, views are unobstructed and expansive, including a stunning lookout to historic Alexander Circle.
