BLDG Workshop was approached to design a home that felt both modern and cohesive with the rolling, rural hills of Caledon.

A playful nod was made to the red earth of the nearby Caledon Badlands with the introduction of Corten steel into some of the volumes. From inside the home, views to the rolling hills of immediately adjacent farms abound.
