Green-Blais Residence has attracted many attentions nowadays. Toronto-based studio Architects Alliance designed the Green-Blais Residence. The 3,500-square-foot house is sited on a rolling property, midway up a slope that rises diagonally across the site from northeast to southwest. This vernacular architecture is characterized by strong, rectangular forms, and high peaked roofs designed to shed snow during the winter and vent heated air in the summer. Traditionally, the main house and ancillary buildings – summer kitchen, ice house, poultry and cattle barns – are organized around a central courtyard and linked by footpaths. There is also pool from where you get the time to enjoy your need to swim or simply gathering with friends or families. Architects Alliance streamlined and modernized these strong geometric forms, rendering them in native stone, wood, and aluminum cladding that echo traditional farm building materials.
