Sitting atop a hillside adjacent to the Inverness Harbour and MacIsaac’s Pond, the cedar clad minimalist gable overlooks the town of Inverness and the critically acclaimed Cabot Links golf course. From the main road the home is presented as a single storey with a perpendicular garage. From the opposite side, falling down the hill is second storey of modern glass and crafted cedar cladding. The entrance is on the second level along with the main living spaces, which include the living room, dining room and kitchen. The main stairwell is flanked by two storeys of glass. The lower level includes the bedrooms and family room. The master bedroom is bumped out from the primary linear gable massing and is clad on three sides with glass, giving it the ultimate view. The children’s rooms are finished with bright playful colours which radiate from the mature modern cedar form of the house. The living and dining rooms are separated by a change in level and a central hearth. The fireplace chimney extends upwards through the grand space of the cathedral ceiling. The exterior cladding is composed of western red cedar in three forms – shingles on the roof and upper level and two widths of boards on the lower levels.

A lush golf course is the backdrop for this new development of hawaiian-style homes designed by the well-known Hawai’i architect, Philip “Pip” White, who is based on Oahu. The Emerald Homes development by DR Horton Schuler Homes, the nation’s largest homebuilder, is located along the fairways of the Kiahuna Golf Club in Poipu. Features of this three-bedroom (plus office), three-and-a-half-bath home, include vaulted ceilings and golf course & mountain views. The botanical motifs throughout the interior decor bring in tropical colors from the surrounding landscape: cayenne red, plum, leaf green, citron yellow, and sandy whites. Artwork by Kaua’i based artist Robin McCoy, adds a dramatically-scaled burst of floral intrigue! Hand-crafted ceramic “lily pad” plates hang playfully over the TV, adding movement & dimension. Lanai furniture and fabrics blend seamlessly with the surrounding color palette, and a fun Trina Turk fabric adds whimsy.

This backyard paradise was totally transformed by adding two artificial putting greens, sand trap, patio space, deck, fire pit, lush gardens and garden paths. The mature trees that surround the space add privacy and grandeur. As avid golfers the clients required a space that would help perfect their game and leave room for backyard entertaining and enjoyment after sundown. This gorgeous setting fits their desires!

Pool - traditional pool idea in Toronto

When she wants a tranquil water feature and he just wants to come home and practice a little golf to take edge off... This is how their two worlds came together in the back yard. Her vision was to have a spa like resort so we chose to use the vibrant colors of the moss rock and multiple cascading waterfalls to fill her yard with soothing water sounds. He was looking to come home and enjoy a maintenance free synthetic lawn putting green.
