Linebox Studio

A home designed around its trees.

Our Northwestern CLT House just got a beautiful write-up, and we're so proud of what this project represents. Ottawa's first residential home built with Cross Laminated Timber, sculpted around three protected trees, and designed to last 200 years.

Every decision came back to one question: can we make it better? Can we make it last longer?

The answer, every time, was yes.

Environmental concerns played a pivotal role in the design process – we were delighted with the client’s level of commitment to sustainability and minimizing the overall environmental impact of the home.

A LEED Platinum Home (LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Platinum is the highest rating attainable).

Personalizing the home:
— Piano is a cherished instrument for the family. The custom metal guardrail on the stair references the keys of a piano.
— This was our first project with a Tesla charging in the garage.
— The clients’ multiple interests include high tech, so Linebox was sure to incorporate a media and games room in the basement, as well as a virtual reality space and a dedicated music room.
— We extended the connection to outdoor life with a four season interior lounge.
