Jesse Sahlani’s modern bungalow project started with one word in mind; sprawling. Jesse employed a modern design style and used the proportions of this lot to his advantage to create a low and wide, spacious bungalow that will serve as a forever home for a family who is entering the second phase of their working lives. The exterior includes a combination of dry stacked natural stone, sourced from a quarry in Owen Sound, board-formed concrete, composite cedar tongue and groove soffits, and aluminum panels. As always, harnessing natural light is the first consideration when our firm approaches a project to ensure that the floor plan is designed to align the average time of use of the spaces with the sun’s trajectory. The exterior also plays into this discussion about natural light as the floor-to-ceiling windows, and corner window details all serve a purpose as they have been designed in conjunction with the depth of the overhangs.
