Colourful Lakeside Custom Home

Set on the shores of Lake Ontario, this colourful new-construction home was designed to support the clients’ everyday routines while welcoming children, grandchildren and friends for extended visits and family gatherings. Four Blocks South developed the interior layouts, selected all finishes and designed the furnishings throughout the home. The interior palette draws inspiration from the changing blues and greens of Lake Ontario, together with the clients’ affection for the bold colours and distinctive character of Newfoundland.

Long-term comfort and accessibility were considered from the earliest planning stages. An elevator connects the home’s different levels, while bathrooms incorporate grab bars and structural reinforcement for additional supports that may be added in the future. In the front foyer, Four Blocks South created a fully custom illuminated art installation that is inspired by the clients’ love of stained glass, and filters light during the day and becomes a glowing focal point in the evening.
