Cedar Fencing and a Circular Deck
The original cedar fencing finally needed replacing after three decades of service. A completely rebuilt fence, timber framed entryway and unique curved deck complete the exterior of this 1870s farmhouse.
Bringing A Victorian House Outdoors
While this Victorian red brick home has an additional sun room, access to outdoor spaces was limited and constrained. A new and expansive cedar deck, living area with pergola and new garden and patio area significantly enhances access to the outdoors.
Cedar Deck and Outdoor Kitchen
The owners of this modern bungalow were looking for improved outside entertaining and kitchen space. A cedar decking, pergola and translucent panelling creates a welcome, bright space that allows for cooking in any weather.
Maximum Exterior Living
A 1970s bungalow with expansive views, and a backyard with lots of unrealized potential. Substantial retaining walls and extensive backfill created the space to expand the house and maximize exterior space in this unique location.
Updated Entry and Privacy Screen
The original house was overwhelmed by a front yard spruce and a less-than-prominent entryway. A complete rethinking of the front streetscape, with pathways, privacy screen, a unique archway to the back yard and a substantial but refined timber frame awning.
A Modern Stone Garage
This detached garage echoes the design and inspiration of a brand new house built in the style of an 1800s Ontario farmhouse. Stone construction, board-and-batten siding and a rare attention to detail result in a garage that is truly unique.
Martin Design Woodshop and Garage
Many customer inspirations start with the structures that we have built for ourselves. Our first foray into timber frame construction was our wood shop. Many of its features figure heavily in the designs we have been requested to build ever since.
Cottage Garage and Bunkie
The original garage was poorly designed and had suffered through a number of difficult winters. Adding a new bunkie and revisiting the structure and slope of the roof created a very different result.
Unique Stone Carriage House
This unique carriage house leverages farmhouse construction techniques of the 1800s to build an initial garage and apartment that will be echoed in a much larger house construction.
Expanded Garage and Workshop
An existing 1970s house already had a two car garage. The owners wanted to radically rethink this, maximizing use of the property and creating workshop and entry space that connects the house together.
