A new-built recreational villa, part of the Red Head community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on the coast of Cape Breton.

The land has west-east orientation. The villa is located approximately in the centre. The facade is oriented towards the southeast. In this direction, the land descends to the sea, at first slowly and then steeply, and transforms into a cliff. The southeast side of the land borders the sea. The house takes advantage of the situation and is partly dug into the slope that gradually turns into a green roof. The access road comes from the northwest side of the land through the forest down the slope. From the road, views of the sea are gradually revealed to the eye, the house - hidden in the surrounding landscape - only hinting at its presence.

The architecture reflects modern trends - simplicity and functionality. The mass of the one-storey villa without a basement s divided into three parts - a garage with technical spaces, the main living area and a lodging rooms. Two interior atria and a winter garden skylight are added to help illuminate the interior and draw the natural elements inside the structure. The main living space is elevated; however all levels are accessible without barriers using ramps. The panoramic glazing of all living quarters provides an unobstructed view of the wide Atlantic horizon.

The technical section includes a garage with facilities and access to technology. The main living area consists of a large living room with a fireplace, a dining room and a kitchen leading to a pantry and a study. The living area is with a walk-in wardrobe and the bathroom by way of a hall. The relaxation zone at the centre of the interior situation is bisected by a corridor connecting the private and the social part. The private quarters comprise four rooms with facilities and a gym.

Natural materials such as stone and wood are used in the interior, both on the floor and on the walls or ceilings as tiles. The various indoor spaces have their hierarchy expressed in different ceiling height and materials.

The façade is lined with Canadian cedar boards that have a vertical orientation. A stone support wall connects to the building by the garage gate. The terrace on the roof of the building is connected with the living quarters by a staircase on the north side. It offers a unique view of the horizon fusing with the surrounding woodland.
