Located on a rise in the picturesque landscape of western Manitoba, the Minnedosa House is designed to engage with the natural elements of the surrounding countryside. A series of axes throughout the house organize the spaces and programs, weaving the living areas together and pulling the private spaces away. These axes incorporate full height glazing to blur the barrier between the exterior and interior conditions and extend the interior spaces into the landscape through carefully framed views. Double height volumes of space and an open floor plan create a dynamic relationship between the first and second floors and invite activate connections between inhabitants throughout the home.
