BEACHES II

Architect: David R Smith Design Inc
Design Firm: Studio Cajole
Photography: Lauren Miller

This two-storey custom home was built for a couple who wanted beach-house character with comfort and high performance, and it was delivered in ten months and just under budget! Oversized sliding glass doors at the front and rear connect the main floor to the lake view and the backyard. This home is off-gas and has state of the art hybrid hydronic heating on two floors and forced air system with the use of an Air-to-Water Heat pump.  And as a bonus there is built-in driveway snowmelt, so on those snowy days, they can relax by the floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace looking out at Lake Ontario.
