Bridge House
We Love Bridge Houses!
————————
The Bridge House is located two hours north of the city of Toronto, on the shores of Mary Lake in Port Sydney, Ontario. Placed over a ravine, between two large maple trees, the volume has a minimal impact on the site. It sits across the steepest part of the slope, drawing a 38-metre-long horizontal line that acts as a counterpoint to the landscape. This simple gesture celebrates the experience of the place, not only as one walks through the house, over and across the ravine, but also when heading down to the waterfront, underneath the house, as one would cross a portico that heightens the monumental scale of the landscape.
