House at Fredas Point

Located on the Chester Peninsula in Nova Scotia, this house has a commanding view of Meisner’s Island and the sailing activities surrounding Chester Harbour. The home negotiates its steep terrain and nestles into its site, organized around ocean views and sun exposure. From the road, the house is tucked into the slope and appears as a single-storey structure, so passers-by can still see the ocean over the roof. Outdoor garden spaces are organized as a series of terraces linked by landscape stairs stepping across the site and culminating in the pool deck.
