The Osler 4132
2,441 sq ft
The Osler 4132 is a modern timber frame Scandinavian cabin house plan that showcases the beauty of timber frame in a minimalistic design. For this house plan, our designers took inspiration from Scandinavian architecture. The Scandinavian climate is similar ours here in Canada with long, dark winters that include high winds, lots of snow, and frigid temperatures. Scandinavian architecture is noted for its clean lines, use of natural materials, capturing natural light, and expertly blending the building into the surrounding landscape.
The curb appeal of the Osler Scandinavian cabin is undeniable. Deep roof overhangs on the front and back of the building usher you into the home and provide protection from the elements as you come and go.
We’ve shown The Osler with decking on three sides of the building, including a 275 sq.ft. 3-season Muskoka room. There’s lots of room and vantage points to enjoy the surrounding views whether it be the ski slopes, the forest, or a sunset.
The Kershaw 3808
1,255 sq ft
The Kershaw 3808, one of our timber frame contemporary designs is ideal for capturing breathtaking views. This modern design features a contemporary mono pitched roof with an eye-catching wedge of clerestory windows peeking out the top, and a glimpse of the timber frame screened in porch, or Muskoka room, off the side of the building.
This contemporary house plan was designed to have fantastic traffic flow and sight lines. Natural light floods in through the front clerestory windows and the large window wall at the back of the home. The open concept main floor makes it a very livable space. The kitchen is a true chef’s kitchen with lots of counter space and a huge island. The kitchen, dining room, and great room connect nicely with still managing to each maintain its own defined spaces. The soaring fireplace in the great room draws your eye up to the cathedral ceiling highlighting the contemporary mono pitched roof.
The Dufferin 2822 (Modern)
3,643 sq ft
The Dufferin 2822 house plan has a square-like footprint so it’s well suited to a variety of lots and locations - a country estate lot, a cottage lot, or even a large urban lot.
The Dufferin ticks all the boxes: attached 2-car garage, main floor master suite, main floor office, up to 6 additional bedrooms, cathedral ceilings, and a large expanse of windows to capture the view.
Some features that lend a modern vibe include: the shed dormers, the wide board and batten siding combined with horizontal wood siding all in the same monochromatic colour scheme, the black windows with simple mullions, and the clean, simple lines of the trusses.
