Custom home designer David Small created a home that, from the outside, looks like an updated English cottage, replete with stone walls, red brick and gable windows, surrounded by old oaks.
The look is a ruse on Small’s part to keep the structure within the scale of the neighbourhood. Visitors may see an understated exterior when they walk onto the lawn of the corner property, but once inside the house, they’re greeted by a grand ceiling that hits a peak of 30 feet above the open staircase. Light streams in through two skylights, not to mention through ample ground-floor windows.
