Modern Single-Family House Pleasant Park, Ottawa
Architectural project for a single-family house in Ottawa, where the compact residential volume is developed through a clear facade composition, courtyard terraces, and a precise combination of stone, wood cladding, louvered elements, and large windows.
Project details
The project for a modern single-family house in Ottawa treats the residential building as a sequence of volumes, terraces, and transitional spaces between the interior and the courtyard. The architectural composition is organized with clearly defined facade planes, flat roofs, and large openings that provide natural light and a visual connection to the surrounding environment.
The material concept combines light stone cladding, horizontal wood panels, dark window frames, and louvered facade elements. The contrast between solid and lighter surfaces creates a dynamic yet balanced aesthetic, while the building maintains a calm and contemporary residential character.
The courtyard space is developed as a natural extension of the living areas — with terraces, decking, seating areas, landscaping, and a relaxation zone. A key focus of the project is the balance between the representative street-facing facade and the more intimate courtyard side, oriented towards daily living, outdoor spaces, and the connection with the natural environment.
