Canadian firm Omar Gandhi Architect have recently completed a modern coastal cottage in Chester, Nova Scotia, that was designed as a summer home for a family.
The exterior of the house is clad in red cedar horizontal boards that hover above a glass-encased ground level.

To one side of the front door, there’s a hallway that leads to the stairs, a home office and one of the bedrooms. The hallway is lined with storage closets and benches positioned beside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
