#Ferndale_Flightdeck

Ottawa, ON

The #Ferndale_flight deck is a stunning renovation that appears to hover like a bird in flight, nestled within a lush forest. Designed for bird enthusiasts, the rooftop deck offers panoramic views of the treetops and native wildlife. A wooden façade inspired by bird wings extends gracefully to the ground, adding a sculptural quality to the design and doubling as concealed storage for paddleboards. A compact yet serene home office, bathed in natural light, offers framed views of the Ottawa River and tree canopy. This small addition makes a big impression, both in its beauty and functionality. Strategically placed apertures in the walls and roof transform into windows, artfully framing the surrounding landscape, ensuring the home is as stunning to look at as it is to look from.
