Named Floating House by MOS Architects, the two-storey building provides a summer residence on the Canadian side of Lake Huron. Thanks to its pontoon base, the house adapts to the changing water levels of the lake, which rise and fall throughout the year. Externally the building is clad in a rainscreen of cedar planks. Living spaces are all located on the level above. The entrance leads directly into the kitchen, which functions as the house’s main artery. The lounge and bedroom occupy the large spaces at both ends, while an office, bathrooms and storage spaces fit in between. Wood was used throughout the interior for flooring, ceilings, furniture and joinery.
