Spectacular in every sence.
This cliff top home is a marriage of English country home and hatteras
beach house.
Granite, oak, soapstone and slate. A tribute to the coast with tru
luxury.
Every room is a vista of sea and spray.
Cliff House
Built on a cliff over the
ocean, this one level house is designed for drama. The structure is
timber frame and there is no drywall at all.
A huge central fireplace in granite forms the central axis.
Willis house
Built high on a cliff
faced
sea coast, This spectacular home is designed to capture the drama of
it's exceptional surroundings.
Office building development
A Toronto client asked us
to
create and render a pair of small office buildings for a proposal.
A tight deadline and a
free
hand at design put me right in my zone.
Bewley house
This house was to be built
right in the heart of the village of Kingsburg N.S. I designed the
house to be a traditional Cape Cod with a bold projection facing the
sea. Then I wrapped it in a circular pergola that provides an upper
deck for the master bedroom and some shade for the dining room which is
all glass on three sides.
Purcell House
Another house in the heart
of
Kingsburg, I needed to keep the exterior largely traditional, but of
the highest standard.
Inside it's a delight,
with
timber and beadboard ceilings, hand crafted period kitchen and both
bedrooms with ensuites.
Green Wood Columbarium
The premier international
mausoleum builders, Milne construction rely on Cornerstone for the
highest quality visualization.
This project in Brooklyn
New
York is a fine example of the level of detail and realism required to
fully appreciate the project.
Mackie - White House
This house, also in
Kingsburg, is a perfect example of my philosophy of design in an
historic village setting. The main house is a pure Lunenburg Bump and
the intention is that it was recently thoughtfully restored and
enhanced with a new wing facing the sea and a wonderfully nautical
round verandah.
However the entire house
is
new construction.
Buckley House
This seemingly simple Cape
Cod sits on a seaside ridge called Beach Hill. The view is captivating
and must be exploited.
By turning the gable ent
to
the sea I was able to use a lot of glass without spoiling the classic
form of the Cape.
Marycrest Mausoleum
Another project for Milne
Construction, this building is truly a new cathedral.
An excellent candidate for
rich 3D visualization with it's soaring ceilings and fine detailing.
Aherns House
A classic Lunenburg Bump
in
the heart of Kingsburg village. This house is an excellent example of
how we can design and build an exceptional home to an exceptional
standard on a remarkably modest budjet.
Moravian Mausoleum
This amazing structure was
a
delight to build in 3D. The no holds barred architecture makes for an
amazing visualization.
King House
I love this house.
Designed
to sit low on the brow of a ridge overlooking the sea. I wanted to
maximize the width of the house to give every room a view. Then it came
to me, a rural train station! Not just the semblance of one, but almost
completely authentic to the style. It's increasable how well the
massing of the station works for a seaside home.
Kingsview House
This house needed to be
large, with a two car garage, gym, sauna and a two bedroom guesthouse.
Therefore I designed it as a gothic revival with an attached barn. The
effect is completely authentic and manages a huge home into the village
environment.
Notre Dame University
Columbarium
Again, a conceptual
visualization for Milne Construction. This media was invaluable to the
stakeholders in advancing this ambitions project.
Hewwit House
To be build on the seaside
in
Blue Rocks N.S. this large gothic has an attached garage and
guesthouse. Again this house is designed to suggest that the original
simpler house was improved some time later when some good fortune
befell the owner. This is exactly how many of the fine Lunenburg area
homes came to be.
Heelan House
Intended to be modest in
appearance but solid and stalwart in execution, this Cape Cod stands
proud high over the sea on Beach Hill.
A good example of how a
simple home designed and built "right" can vastly surpass the ordinary.
Green Wood Columbarium
Another proposal
for Milne. This project is to echo a tradiditional conservatory. Again
lots of fun to create in 3D.
Thompson House
This house, high over
Kingsburg N.S. is a total renovation of an existing building.
I needed to find a way to
transform the existing forms into something exceptional.
Allen cottage
Conversion of an old
general
store to a seaside cottage.
Barn conversion
Conversion from an old
boatyard shed to a studio.
Lunenburg public washrooms
I was asked by the town of
Lunenburg Nova Scotia to enter a competition to design a new public
washroom. These are my two proposals, the Cape Cod version was chosen
the winner.
Nuuanu Columbarium
Again, using
photocomposition
I was able to merge this virtual building into it's landscape
seamlessly.
Peace House
Designed as a summer
rental
property, this house is intended to capture the sense of an English
country home with symmetrical wings and a round marvelous deck on both
levels.
Renton House
This renovation project
involved the adition of some new additions and a complete interior
upgrade.
