The Cumberland Residence caters to a family's evolving needs, aiming to foster health and wellbeing while accommodating a home office and the needs of an aging parent. The objective is to craft inviting and rejuvenating living areas that prioritize natural light, exterior views, and organic materials, cultivating a sense of overall wellness.

The design approach involves an expansion of the second floor to establish a principal retreat that capitalizes on the breathtaking Lake Ontario views. Meanwhile, a ground floor extension creates a seamless open-concept space for family, dining, and kitchen activities, all overlooking the naturalistic backyard.
