StudioAC Designs a Holiday Home iwth a Cedar-Clad Build
Amy Duong — January 16, 2024 — Art & Design
Local architectural firm StudioAV presents a look at a special light tonal home made for a private client with a focus on embracing nature and serene surroundings. It is also defined by its brick-clad construction outside and it rests on a hill that opens up to views of a meadow and lake. The home is located in Prince Edward County's Cherry Valley community.
The studio explains that the home is "Characterized by an intricate coastline and a burgeoning wine-making industry, the landscape and sense of place can be distilled to fields and shoreline. Large windows on the water side frame views of the shore, while panoramic windows at ground level facing the meadow offer a vantage point to the 'field. This panoramic view immerses the viewer in the landscape rather than placing them on top of it."
