Houses are everywhere along the streets, but there are a few houses that catch your eyes and attention as you cross that street. Today we will take you for a tour of one such house, located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Ottawa. 

The house owners did not want to disrupt the historic feel of the place, so the architects retained the historic exteriors, blending well with the neighborhood, and designed the contemporary interiors as per the convenience of the family. Ready for the tour?

The Facade

The facade of the house is created with brick, wood and stone keeping in view the historic fabric that encompasses the entire vicinity. A canopy covers the formal entrance of the house, keeping the appearance conventional and classic. The small green patch covered with grass in the front does just enough to give the house a lively and fresh appearance.

The Entrance

The entrance of this Glebe Avenue house is narrow, covered with wooden flooring and well light using conventional lighting, suspended from the ceiling and some fixed on the walls. The narrow and compressed entrance leads to an expanded and open kitchen and dining, just like the traditional family houses.

The Kitchen

The entrance hallway opens up right here, into the contemporary and modern open plan kitchen. The kitchen has ample storage space, the stove and chimney against the wall and a central island for dining and food preparation. Half the island, that is to be used as the food processing area is made with stainless steel owing to its sturdiness and ease of cleaning. 

The Dining In The Contemporary Ottawa House

Apart from the small kitchen island dining, there is a formal dining table too in the main hall, just next to the kitchen, not quite in the view in the picture though.

The Classic Living Room

Right in front of the kitchen, in the large hall is the living room. The living room is a classic with the brick fireplace, the earthen and subtle colored sofas, the wooden table and a comfortable central carpet. The walls of the room are well adorned with paintings and are highlighted with focused lights to accentuate their appearance against the white background.

The Wooden Staircase
