Nestled along the rugged coastline of Peggy’s Cove, the Atlantic Retreat epitomizes a harmonious blend of modern design and coastal vernacular, with an smpl-driven design twist. This innovative single-family home is crafted for a couple transitioning into their retirement years, seeking a serene and picturesque coastal space to live and entertain.
The exterior design of this unique home is characterized by strong, simple geometric forms. The design reflects the natural landscape through the playful undulation of roof heights, spread out horizontally to hug the shoreline. Strategic angularity enhances panoramic views of the ocean, ensuring that the breathtaking oceanside scenery becomes an integral part of daily living. Despite the bold geometries, modest monochromatic vertical wood siding pays homage to the design style of the region. This unique fusion of tradition and modernity allows the retreat to seamlessly integrate into its surroundings while offering a contemporary living experience.
At the heart of the design is a commitment to sustainability. The retreat boasts a super-insulated building envelope that minimizes energy consumption, ensuring comfort year-round from the strong ocean driven winds. The orientation of strategically placed windows and doors not only maximizes natural light but also reduces reliance on artificial lighting. This approach not only enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal but also promotes an environmentally responsible lifestyle, making the most of its stunning coastal location.
Slated for completion in 2026, the Atlantic Retreat will serve as a sanctuary for its new owners, providing a tranquil escape where the beauty of nature and thoughtful home design converge. This project not only embodies the aspirations of its inhabitants but also stands as a beacon of modern design in one of Nova Scotia’s most cherished locales. As the couple embarks on their new chapter by the sea, this retreat promises to be more than just a home; it will be a lasting legacy of comfort, elegance, and connection to the Atlantic Ocean.
