Located on Big Island in Prince Edward County, this picturesque 4-acre waterfront property along the Bay of Quinte offers an ideal setting for a striking new two-storey modern residence.

About the project

The architectural concept is defined by two distinct volumes, separated by a thoughtfully landscaped courtyard that acts as both a visual anchor and a private outdoor retreat. Block One houses a three-car garage with a self-contained two-bedroom apartment above — perfect for guests, extended family, or short-term rentals. Block Two, the primary residence, is arranged over two levels, with open-concept living and entertaining spaces on the ground floor and a luxurious master suite and private retreat on the second.

In response to the client's desire for an above-grade basement and two full storeys of living space above, the flat front half of the site will be subtly regraded. This design move creates a gentle slope that leads up to the main entrance, situated on a raised platform. From this elevated vantage point, both residents and guests are welcomed with panoramic views of the Bay of Quinte before stepping inside.

The home’s architectural language is distinctly modern, expressed through clean, low-sloping rooflines, generous overhangs, and a refined material palette that includes exposed timber beams, expansive glass, natural stone, and metal cladding. The result is a bold yet harmonious residence that responds to the landscape while offering a timeless waterfront living experience
