1. Delaware
Architect: Ben Homes, Location: Burlington, Ontario, Canada
From the architect: "The Delaware house is sophisticatedly simple, with features that tie into the old downtown neighborhood that it is located in. The interior is bright and open, with a sloped glass roof that fills the home with natural light throughout the day and views of the stars at night."

2. Villeneuve Residence
Architect: Atelier Barda, Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
From the architect: "An office space was created in the entranceway. When the space is being used in the evening, it accentuates the cinematographic framing of the large front window, evoking the painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper."
