Located in Ottawa, ON, Canada, the New Edinburgh House was completed in 2012 by Christopher Simmonds Architect.
Starting with the interior design, we must mention that the colors are nicely mixed, the materials are exquisite and every piece of furniture seems to have its own perfect place. The volumes of lightwells, the stairs and the courtyard interrupt the linear composition of the residence. The result consists in strong indoor/outdoor connections.
As you enter the house, you get to experience a serene and pleasant atmosphere similar to the one at “home”.

Ah, yes, because nothing says “serene” quite like meticulously staged furniture and perfectly choreographed lightwells. It’s almost like living in a museum, but hey, who doesn’t want their home to double as an art exhibit?
Thank you for your perspective! The design aims to balance artistry with comfort, creating a peaceful, inspiring space that feels both livable and thoughtfully crafted.
