Glen Manor Haus

The clients approached us seeking to build their first long-term home, a dwelling grounded in calm, shaped by natural light, and connected deeply to the nearby ravine. Their wish was for a modern family home that would feel both open and refined: generous for daily living, fluid enough for entertaining, yet composed and private in all the right places. They imagined living within the tree canopy—waking up to filtered forest light, moving through spaces that felt quietly restorative, and ending the day on a roof deck overlooking the ravine and looking out toward Lake Ontario. With trust built through many previous collaborations, they gave us complete creative freedom, from spatial organization to the material palette, to design a home that embodies clarity, restraint, and long-term value.
