CANADIAN HOME TRENDS WHAT INSPIRED THE
OVERALL DESIGN?
GREG NIELSEN The property had a lovely creek
running through it and the home was designed to take
advantage of that feature. The front entrance and garage
are located at the back of the house and you drive past
the creek to get to the house. The resulting outdoor living
space has south and west exposures to take advantage of
the late afternoon sun.
CHT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE HOME'S DESIGN
AND LAYOUT?
GN The homeowners have a large extended family and
they often host large gatherings. An open concept layout
with high ceilings, a large, open kitchen and a basement
game/theatre room with a built-in bar offers plenty of
room for indoor entertaining. During warm, sunny days,
the outdoor living space is also designed for entertaining
in a resort-like environment with a covered patio,
overhead heaters, an outdoor kitchen with dining space
and a pool deck that overlooks a putting green. Large
glass doors can be opened up to bring the two areas
together for larger events!
