Stouffville Residence in Toronto

Resting on a rolling field, this modern rural country home outside Toronto was inspired by the stone walls that were used to separate farmer’s fields.

Stouffville Residence is grounded in the earth while being cantilevered over a vast landscape.

The stone entry wall, low and private, hints program through a series of translucent glass boxes punching through the otherwise monolithic wall.

This wall acts as a key organizational element anchoring a series of glass volumes that open up to the south of the building overlooking the property and offering commanding views of the landscape.

The orientation of the project intends to minimize the building’s impact on the area while maximizing site lines and access to natural daylight. The roof seemingly floats above the stone entry wall suggesting a more gestural and dynamic roof on the dwelling’s other face.

Two main programmatic bars make up Stouffville Residence.

The more public spaces make up the heart of the house, and the more private areas branch off to the sides. The main axis of the residence includes the kitchen/living/dining rooms, with the outdoor wooden terrace serving as a continuation of the living space.

A practical ‘service’ box adjacent to the main entry houses the mudroom and pantry, helping to maintain a minimal lifestyle of the main public axis.

The dwelling encompasses a master bedroom with an integrated ensuite on the main level, as well as two bedrooms on the lower level. Stouffville Residence is spacious, yet proportional, always focusing on the view out onto its’ surroundings.
