5468796 Architecture designed this spacious bungalow covering a ground area of 2,700 square feet in 2015, intended to house a young family of four people. It is located in East St. Paul, north of Winnipeg, Canada. Surrounded by typically suburban homes, lined with stucco, and located in a quiet bay, the house has a private and discreet facade with ample space in the patio and glass walls covering the height of the entire back façade that opens on the backyard full of trees.

On the outside, the house is covered with vertical wood paneling dyed in a natural way. A wood-clad ceiling extends over open patios and hidden porches to complete the parallelogram, supported by a series of U-shaped Cor-ten steel columns that project views into private rooms and evoke the support of existing trees on the site.

A simple and muted palette highlights the interior volumes, with a sequence of light wells and skylights that attract daylight from the main floor to the finished basement. While the client preferred a one-story design, they assumed that their required program would only fit into a two-story house depending on the size of the lot and the recoil restrictions.
