The owners of this cottage are teachers who subdivided the neighbouring family cottage lot. The owners wanted a traditional, cozy but functional space to relax and spend their summers with family and friends. The cottage is set on a point of land and had many set back restrictions. The design resulted in a unique layout and features an all wood interior, a stone fireplace and reclaimed wood floors.

Contemporary abstract artwork in shades of red and pink with blooming flowers. Amira Rahim is a former teacher turned full time artist who dabbles in color schemes like you’ve never seen before. Bursting with color and texture, each of Rahim’s abstract pieces is vibrant and adds a sunny touch to any space.

Subtle touches of color for this stenciled wall. This would work with almost any stencil and is pretty easy if you've got a light color and subtle touch. I love how it fades in and out. This would look great in any room with almost any stencil. I'd love to do a few more of these.

Between 2010 and 2012, I became a teacher at Westwood College; I did teach subjects that were tons of fun for me, such as Photoshop, Drafting, and AutoCAD; but I did have to also teach subjects I did not know well such as Revit. To feel less anxious, I decided to come up with my own house design, using Revit; it was a lot of fun. However, I got stuck! I started the functional plans directly in the software, and sooner than later, I was paralyzed in a world of uncertainty; it became a battle between learning a computer aided software and the natural process of design. Soon after, back in 2013, I went back to the practice of architecture, and the Westwood house went to the pit of forgotten back burner projects. In 2021, I went to the pit of forgetfulness, dusted off the Westwood house and came to life.
