Nestled within the vibrant streets of an urban Ottawa neighbourhood lies a house with a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. Designed by 25:8 Architecture + Urban Design and built upon the remnants of one of the area's original cottages from the logging era, this dwelling seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary design elements, creating a genuinely distinctive architectural marvel.
The house's exterior facade is a study in contrast, with a monochromatic palette carefully selected to distinguish between the 'old' and 'new' construction phases. Despite stringent zoning regulations, the architects managed to preserve the structure's original footprint. The predominant white exterior homages the house's historical roots, while black accents delineate the newer additions, creating a visually striking juxtaposition.
