Introducing the Northern Sky “Clean Fusion” home, a stunning and innovative custom-built retreat in the heart of Saskatchewan’s Lakelands. This modern mountain inspired residence boasts a seamless fusion of natural materials and sleek design elements that create a unique and harmonious atmosphere.
The exterior features stunning combinations of timber and Hardie board siding with Idaho stone retaining walls that blend perfectly into the surroundings. The wrap-around deck, extended roof overhangs, and large windows with breathtaking views of the surrounding nature invite the outdoors in. This home has three entries that provide easy connectivity to the landscaped yard and fire-pit area. Perfect for these homeowners who enjoy spending time outdoors and entertaining guests. Just beyond the fire-pit area, the landscape stairway descends to the lake and the dock, providing direct access to the water.
The floor plan is open and flows seamlessly, creating multi-functional living spaces that are perfect for quiet weekend getaways or fantastic for entertaining. The large kitchen and island is a cozy space for two, or a great time for twenty! There is even a corner reserved for the baby grand piano.
The interior design is equally stunning, natural elements such as Whistler basalt stone on the fireplace and hand-scraped hickory flooring are combined with Douglas Fir timbers, stair treads, and rough-sawn cabinets, all blending with black steel in perfect harmony.
Inverted steel trusses in the structure were a crucial element to achieve the desired open floor plan. They allow for smaller timber beams to span larger distances while maintaining the integrity of the structure. Additionally, the steel served as a key component in the fusion design theme, tying in seamlessly with the other accents throughout the interior. The use of steel not only provided the necessary structural support but also added a modern and industrial aesthetic to the overall design. Steel served as a unifying element, creating a cohesive and unique fusion of materials.
At Northern Sky, we specialize in creating stunning custom-built homes that reflect our clients’ unique lifestyles and design preferences. The Clean Fusion home is a perfect example of our commitment to combining innovation, functionality, and style to create one-of-a-kind living spaces.
