Situated on a narrow lot in an old neighbourhood, the Skygarden House provides outdoor living spaces on multiple levels to address the owners’ desire for a better connection to their natural surroundings. The complete overhaul of the house resulted in a significant reduction in its ecological footprint. To achieve the most efficient methods of heating, cooling and lighting while minimizing costs, the mechanical and electrical systems are integrated with passive design strategies. The “skygarden” next to the master suite functions as a unique outdoor room, open to the sky, sun, wind and stars.
