Scott Posno Design together with interior designers &Daughters have completed a modern vacation home that’s located about an hour north of Toronto, Canada.

 

The exterior of the house is clad in cedar siding that’s been stained a soft charcoal to match the standing-seam gabled metal roof.

Stepping inside the house, there’s polished concrete floors that lead into the main social areas of the house. In the kitchen, light wood cabinets are combined with grey countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Through a door in the living room is the dining room, that runs the entire 22-foot (6.7m) width of the house. Sliding glass pocket doors on either end allow the dining room to be open to the outdoor spaces, and when it’s cooler, they can be closed to enjoy the warmth of the fireplace.
