Based on the vernacular forms of the fishing shacks nearby, the Launching Residence is perched overlooking the deep blue Northumberland Strait. Two strong architectural forms housing the studio and the living area are connected by an expansive deck linking the out-of-doors with the interior living space.

The square peaked studio provides a delightful work and play space while reducing the overall scale of the home. The open plan layout and vaulted ceilings accentuate the light and airiness of the structure. The expansive windows take full advantage of the spectacular seaside views. Simple details including the cabinetry, trim work and stainless steel hardware make this house extremely clean and contemporary in style.
