SMPL Design Studio has transformed a 1980s residence into a sophisticated yet playful cottage, infusing it with Scandinavian flair in the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Southern Ontario. This rejuvenated dwelling sits on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, just minutes from the downtown core.
The transformation melds Scandinavian influence with playful sophistication. The exterior features neutral wood tones through vertical siding that complements the scenic lake, creating an intimate connection with the locale. Inside, hues of oyster and sand weave an organic visual continuation of the exterior, maintaining the vertical lines and organic shapes.
The unique layout offers an ideal flow for cooking and entertaining, with the kitchen at the center. Adjacent spaces, such as the built-in breakfast bar and designated coffee station, branch from it. The updated double-sided fireplace unifies the separate living and dining areas, enhancing the sense of cohesion.
A triangular second-floor addition and a uniquely shaped angled ensuite elevate this home into a functional, stylish, and calm escape from urban rigors.
This Scandinavian-inspired house in Niagara-on-the-Lake provides a completely reimagined living space with a seamless blend of sophistication and playfulness.
