Once more, Brian Hemingway has endeavored to design a house, for a wonderful family, that functions at two levels - an esoteric level and a functional level. Water's Edge attempts to express metaphorically life's journey from the secular to the sacred; the long path from the neighbourhood street to the life-giving water's edge. This 5000 square foot house has been sited and planned to optimize light, views, and orientation for all interior and exterior spaces.
