Garson Residence
Garson, Ontario
A myriad of outdoor spaces were designed as part of an expansion to an existing residential property. Centered around an in-ground pool, the area is bookended by a fire-pit with seating and an interior lounge area connected to the existing house via an enclosed hallway, while various overlapping canopies offer shade over both the patio and outdoor kitchen. The use of concrete to form the seating around the fire-pit was intended to take advantage of the thermal conduction of a sun-soaked mass, and deliberate landscaping around its exterior softened the transition from unyielding form to nature in flux. An unassuming mechanical room addition was also incorporated against the house, to store all the equipment required for the pool and related utilities. The integrated approach of both built interior space and defined outdoor space resulted in a backyard area suitable for any occasion and any number of guests.
