Maple Leaf Design Portfolio

Clean lines and open spaces define this unique home. The interior is flooded by natural light which highlights custom designed elements throughout. The rear patio opens onto beautiful waterfront vistas.

Modern esthetics and natural building elements combine with great effect in this one of a kind home. A strong Scandinavian influence reflects the owner's personal tastes. With so many specialized details to feature, this home is truly unique.

MLH is noted for our custom carpentry and attention to detail. This home showcases many custom features. They include column details, coffered ceilings, built-ins and a rear lanai porch.

The Midtowns are a unique group of eight townhomes located near Britannia Park. These modernist units were considered by some to be a little too progressive for the Ottawa market. The units take their cue from the walk-up townhouses of Montreal. The front facade features monolithic concrete steps that ascend a full storey. The rest of the exterior is clad with galvalume siding, cedar and concrete board.

The exterior of this home offers some Craftsman elements but the interior is all modern. Clean lines from the kitchen to the custom concrete fireplace surround enhance the modern feel. A one-of-a-kind custom welded steel railing is a significant interior feature.

This urban infill home posed very difficult design and construction challenges. The plan called for a 2200 sq. ft. home to be built on a very tight lot and the new structure was to abut on existing home on a third level. The collaboration between the clients and MLH produced a unique home that even exceeded the expectations of a few city planners.

This craftsman-styled home features all the elements of that period. The interior however is wide open and bright. A custom stone wood-burning fireplace is the focal point of the main floor. The exterior deck and screened-in porch is typical of MLH's fully integrated building approach.

Nestled on a wooded lot, this craftsman-styled home showcases Maple Leaf's custom woodworking. Coffered ceilings in the dining room coupled with a stone two-way fireplace give the living space a rich and cozy feel. The custom built cedar posts and tongue and groove ceiling on the porch lend themselves to the surrounding forest.

This custom-built fully accessible home comes complete with its own elevator. A curved exterior wall of windows and curved fireplace is not only architecturally pleasing to the eye, but provides plenty of natural light and warmth to the living space.

MLH's fine carpentry skills are showcased in this custom built home. A warming fireplace in the screened-in porch and open concept living space are just some of the highlights of this beautiful home.
