Inspired
thinking by architect/owner Richard Kroeker makes this House
in Long Cove a wonderful interpretation of natural forms.
Putting earth on the roof provides ballast, protects the roof
membrane, provides natural habitat, holds water and is relatively
easy to accomplish. Local plants thrive in the "living
roof" system providing for low maintenance and naturally
fitting into the local terrain. Copyright 2004 John Wilson |
Simplicity
of design inspires this country cottage north of Montreal.
The Maison Goulet was designed by Saia Barberese Topouzanov

The
Salyzyn residence uses parallam posts and beams to expose
windows to the incredible views offered by the east coast
