The Hemlock House sits on a 72-acre (29-hectare) property in the southern town of Markdale.
The project grew in scope over time. Originally, the plan was to renovate an old farmhouse, but the client ultimately decided to create an entirely new house.
"What started as a modest renovation evolved into a full replacement of the small, 1930s farmhouse," said Brian O'Brian, a Toronto-based architect.
The commission came about after the client saw another project by O'Brian in the area – a 19th-century schoolhouse with stone walls that had been converted into a cottage.
