Shortlisted: Interior Design Scheme - Canada Award

The International Design & Architecture Awards 2025

IDA 2025

Contempo Studio has masterfully designed Project Sideroad, a 5,000 sq. ft. transitional chateau in Puslinch, Ontario, that exemplifies timeless luxury and refined craftsmanship. The residence blends classical architecture with modern sophistication, featuring a symmetrical precast concrete façade, classical proportions, and sleek contemporary detailing.

Contempo Studio’s vision balances grandeur and comfort, with carefully considered scale and spatial distribution creating an inviting yet commanding presence. Inside, the home’s layered, warm interior palette highlights natural materials such as richly grained woods, bold stones, and textured plaster. Dramatic marble and quartz surfaces contrast with soft, tactile finishes in key areas like the kitchen and primary ensuite. Bespoke millwork, artisanal lighting, and statement hardware add curated sophistication throughout.

A standout feature is the dramatic, sunken two-storey great room, illuminated by a full-height curtain wall that frames views of the surrounding landscape. Light plays a central role in the design, creating a serene, ever-changing atmosphere. High ceilings, full-height windows, and internal glazing between spaces foster a sense of connection, openness, and tranquillity.

The home extends seamlessly outdoors, with a pool, firepit, and cabana designed to reflect the calm elegance of the interiors. Set within a tree-lined landscape, the layout respects the natural topography while offering layered transparency and privacy.

Every detail, from the hand-brushed fireplace to custom lighting and stonework, was executed with technical precision and artistic vision. The result is a forever home that is personal, intentional, and enduring—a complete design statement that reflects Contempo Studio’s distinctive ability to unite beauty, balance, and purpose.
