Knight combined Hardie board and wood siding on the exterior of the duplex, which features the ADU at left and a single-family unit at right, unifying them with Benjamin Moore's Burnt Sienna.

“With a single contribution of natural light -- the windowed facade facing street -- the apartment is designed to be 'turned' towards this light, with its glass rooms. Elements holding the old garage function were kept as witnesses and graphic structures of the apartment,” says Pelcé.

After repurposing the former garage, the space has now been transformed into a surprisingly spacious 700-square-foot home.

A pair of PH5 lamps by Louis Poulsen hang over a custom wood dining table.

Located in the center of Madrid near Plaza España, Gon Architects transformed this dark, cluttered apartment into a sunny, carefully colorful home. The reimagined space is 860 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Architect Herbert Millkey designed the 1969 home with extensive wood paneling, stone walls, and balconies overlooking the surrounding forest.

The roofing cost CAD $40,000, and the simple frame of the home blends in with the overall landscape.

The windows were one of the biggest splurges at about CAD $65,000. “The project boiled down to the view,” says architect Evan Hoyles. A Morsø woodstove anchors the corner of the living space.

Birch cabinetry and Dekton countertops keep the kitchen minimal, which was a request from the owners to keep attention on the views.
