Gatineau Hills Quebec home, Cantley residence

Gatineau Hills Quebec home, Cantley residence

Design: Christopher Simmonds Architect. This modern house, set into the dense foliage of the hills north of Ottawa, is designed to encourage the forested surroundings and natural light to subtly permeate the interiors through large expanses of glass. On the exterior, the use of reclaimed wood on the second level provides a textural balance to the white cement board and glass of the ground floor.
