V Residence
Winnipeg, MBThe V Residence, near Winnipeg, is a warm, wood-focused home for a retired couple moving from rural Manitoba to be closer to family and amenities. The exterior features thermally modified shiplap siding, charred using the Shou Sugi Ban method, reflecting the owners' connection to Japan. Douglas fir glulam beams frame the entry canopy and trellis, while a screened porch with operable screens offers year-round connection to the forest and river. The home contracts and expands with everyday life and is equally comfortable when inhabited by the owners or with large groups of friends and family. Wood from mature trees removed during construction was repurposed for custom stair treads and a live-edge vanity, emphasizing the home’s sustainable approach and deep connection to its natural surroundings.
