Canadian Houses : Residences

Key Contemporary Residential Architecture Developments in Canada, North America

post updated 3 October 2021

Houses in Canada

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Canadian Houses. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Canada. The focus is on contemporary Canadian residences but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

Canada Architecture Design – chronological list

We have 1 page of Canadian residential architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

Mar 29, 2021 MTR Residence, Mont-Tremblant Design: Alain Carle Architect photograph : Félix Michaud MTR Residence, Mont-Tremblant Québec Located on Lac Tremblant, one of Québec’s most highly esteemed lakes, the site presented features as spectacular as they were restrictive. Very steep terrain and high rock cliffs allowed few options for implementation or traffic on the site. A very large flat rock cap on the edge of the lake was chosen as “level 0” and allowed creation of the MTR Residence project’s anchoring identity.

4 Apr, 2021 Elm House, Tupper School District, Halifax, Nova Scotia Design: Peter Braithwaite Studio photo : Julian Parkinson Elm House, Halifax Home, Nova Scotia This house displayed great potential for the young family who had recently purchased the property.
