You know what they say about location, location, location. This modern vacation cottage designed by the famous Canadian architect, Brian MacKay-Lyons, has an idyllic seaside setting in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia with sheep and horses grazing in the nearby pastures. It both blends in and stands out among the weathered buildings nearby.
The two-floor cabin has an open-concept first floor with a kitchen, living area, and cozy wood-burning stove. Walk upstairs to the bedroom loft with grand cathedral ceilings featuring exposed beams. There’s a nice living space outside, as well. What do you think of this home?

The walls and ceiling seem to lack insulation. Is it SIP construction? insulated floor? infloor heating?
I love everything about that home even living out on the countertop range it’s AwesomEly beautiful out there
I really love all the lighting they have out in the country too.
love the concept, but so much I would change………… to my taste.
…and to your taste is just that. Not someone elses, but yours. And that is how it should be. Many people put down other peoples choices, heck, I’ve even done it. Much to my eternal shame…
