Modern River House Niagara

Modern river house Niagara  is a new single-family home designed by Zerafa Studio llc in Niagara Falls Ontario.The principal feature of the 1.85 acre site fronting the Niagara River just upstream from the Horseshoe Falls is the long unobstructed river views across the full 164 ft width of the property. The 4700 sq.ft of interior living space and 1200 sq.ft of covered terrace were crafted to embrace this feature and find a balance between the relative transparency encouraged by the views and the privacy concerns of the owners.

The ground floor is comprised of two primary program groups separated by an east west glazed circulation space that bisects the house and extends the river views through to the rear garden.The more private spaces including an expansive master suite, two additional bedrooms with en suite bath and laundry facilities are distributed in a parallel bar on the second floor accessible by a dramatic sculptural stair.The kitchen by Bulthaup Toronto features a combination of grey aluminum and kaolin laminate faced cabinetry with the integrated “multi-function” glass wall system.
