Fraser Residence

Designed by Christopher Simmonds Architects, this Fraser Residence exhibits a range of modern design lines and contemporary furniture. The perfect floor plan and materials were all chosen when designing the Fraser Residence.

Located in Ottawa, Ontario, the house was awarded Best Custom Urban Infill - 2011 Greater Ottawa Home Builders association (GOHBA) Design Awards.

The interesting features of the house are designed to help the inhabitants live a comfortable, modern life. “Juxtaposed volumes define the exterior appearance of this modern home while interweaving special volumes define the expansive interior. The house takes advantage of its sloping site by inserting the garage into the lower level. This allows the elongated porch and glazed projections of the living spaces to define the home’s character in the streetscape. Subtle earth-toned brick, stained cedar siding and dark bronze aluminium glazing systems form the neutral exterior palette. Dark oak floors and cabinetry contrast the white surfaces of the gallery-like interior”.
