Millgrove House in Hamilton, Ontario

For Toms + McNally Design, Architecture is a response to context. Millgrove House, located in rural Hamilton, sits on a property that contained an abandoned apple orchard, and a hay-growing farm for local use.

Situated between mature tree lines and forests, the site is gently rolling. As a result, the design strategy was to use the topography in order to maintain a modest appearance from the street while providing a spacious home for a middle-aged couple with four adult children.

What were the solutions?
– Two large floor plates with wide circulation paths and provisions for future accommodations such as an elevator. No change in levels within a same floor. Lots of natural light.
– Open spaces with lots of light and natural materials. A vast kitchen allowing for entertaining friends and family. A very open main floor looking out to an expansive rolling landscape.
– Build within the topography, implement energy efficiency strategies such as geothermal, passive solar strategies, efficient electrical systems.
