Mulmur Hills Farm
East Mulmur, Ontario

casa del mes, diciembre de 2022 - Registro Arquitectónico revista

Relying on a palette of locally sourced woods, concrete, stone walls, and blackened metal accents, the home is both refined and rustic, simple and open. It honors both the rolling woodlands and agricultural heritage of the site, while facilitating the family’s modern lifestyle.

Out of the owners’ long-standing respect and love for the nineteenth-century farm and buildings gracing its 100-acre site, this home carefully settles just beyond the view from the gravel road at the edge of a nearby forest. Perched on a low hill and overlooking the existing barn, rolling fields, a pond, and the woodlands of the Mulmur Hills beyond, the home rises gently from a stand of white pine, establishing the edge between forest and pastureland.

Un muro bajo de granito local apilado organiza la casa y alude a los tradicionales muros de piedra de campo que forman los antiguos límites del sitio. Más allá de esta pared, las habitaciones de la casa se abren elegantemente a vistas y campos, debajo de una extensión de vigas laminadas de abeto Douglas y plafones de cedro rojo occidental, dando la bienvenida al libre flujo de la brisa y al movimiento de familiares, amigos y perros por igual.
