Creemore Farmhouse

A custom farmhouse on the Niagara Escarpment. Designed for a large and growing family on a tight budget.

"It’s about more than the outdoors coming in. It’s the feeling of being completely immersed in nature."

ANDREW HOTARI

Design Goals

With 2 acres of farmland in Dufferin County, this young family came to us looking for a timeless, custom farmhouse on a budget. Learning about their dreams for the space, they wanted a home where their family could grow while creating a sustainable, efficient space. We took this project from an open field to move-in ready in 6 months.

Custom on a budget.

A custom home is achievable on a budget. We could help make this family’s money go further with the right design choices.

Low-maintenance home.

With a growing family, they hoped for a house that they could spend more time enjoying and less time maintaining.

Warmth of the sun.

Sustainability was a primary goal in this project. Passive solar strategies were a key design consideration.

Key Features

Grey number 1

Sustainable & efficient.

The house features a passive solar design and stack-effect natural ventilation.

Grey number 02

Maximizing budget.

Opting for a slab-on-grade foundation instead of a basement, we could repurpose the savings.

Grey number 03

Visually-interesting siding.

Used cedar stock for the board and batten siding, saving on milling costs while giving the home a unique look.
