house tour

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend a house tour in Port Hope featuring 2 modern custom built homes.

I'll start with the the second home on the tour designed by architect Stephanie Vermeulen. The owners stumbled upon a vacant treed lot overlooking a ravine and decided to purchase it anticipating their retirement in a few years. Their vision was to build a modern, sustainable, energy efficient home that would take advantage of the southern exposure.
