R E S I D E N T I A L : GEORGIAN BAY COTTAGE

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The co age aimed to exude a modern architectural statement, therefore moving far away from

tradi onal co age homes. The co age is designed to be built on Georgian Bay’s rocky terrain, therefore the

co age is mul -leveled. Space planning was a huge factor in the design process as not only did the spaces need to make absolute sense as a fl oor plan, but they also had to coinside with the landscape level changes,

par cular rooms needed to have the approproate sunlight, and others to obtain op mal views of the Bay.

Large architectural sla ed walls are used for support, as well as a screen to create privacy from nieghbours, and

make the clients feel as though they own the whole Bay to themselves, crea ng a retreat from society and life.

This project aimed towards the architecture aspects of design, focusing on the structu-real elements, roof plan, as well as sustainable details.

The exterior eleva ons show the terrain level changes, and the window placements in regards to the direc on of the sun

and wind. The sec on highlights some of the sustainable features of the co age, including a light shelf located in the

living room . The roof allows the light shelf to distribute the light throughout the room effi ciently. Also the sec on shows the use of solar tubes which allow sunlight to be used rather

than electricity 24 hours a day.

STREWN Winery proposed to rennovate their current winery

located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, to create a new modern image while keeping the wineries beliefs, goals

and mo o. Due to the rennova on, the re-design of this

winery needed to be built in constraints to the old building

structure, therefore needing to keep cetain posts, beams and walls

to ensure that the building would be safe and to code. Also the

project proposed square footage constrainsts for the base plan as

well as the mezzanine plan, sta ng par cular appropriate square

footages for each space.

The concept for this NEW Strewn Winery was derived from the

idea on of the vineyards, and the linear quali es. However, except

taking the tradi onal horizontal and ver cal aspects of the vineyards,

chose to use a diagonal lineality to create a very unique and

architecturally pleasing building.

One aspect of the winery that was a main focuswas the execu ve tas ng area, that is reserved for only pre booked wine tas ng

gatherings. This space if used for also demonstra ons, therefore this is the

reason that it with holds its own demonstra on kitchen. Also, due to the use

of this space, and because it is an “execu ve” area, chose to place it on the

mezzanine level so it was secluded and gave the visitors the feeling of execu vity as it is seperate from the rest of the public areas.

Also, this space has its own private exterior deck that allows views to the winery to

allow the visitors to gain the en re wine tas ng experience.

Du e to the buildings use, the concept arose by the
