Good Architecture in The House in Scotch Cove
Designed for an active couple in their seventies and their extended family, this house embraces living well while aging in peace. It subscribes to timeless ideals about making good architecture. It is responsive to sighting for placemaking while emphasizing light and views. It creates spatial richness within a modest program and budget. Structure is used as an organizer of shelter and space. The architecture combines materials that are climatically and culturally responsive.
Consisting of a main house and an out-building containing a dwelling and a workshop, the project understands work of many types as an integral part of living. The program of the main house includes two bedrooms: a living space that is a changing gallery celebrating family artists; a space for gathering and games; a kitchen where cooking and canning are multi-generational activities; a large dining area for family celebrations and a sewing room for elaborate crafts. Centred around evolving family activities, the home supports everyday culture that evokes what is best about daily life.
