Northwest Territories-539

Canada-150 Series:  The Northwest Territories, along with Yukon and Nunavut, form the three Territories that make up Canada’s north.  It is a land of extremes, with cold winters of total darkness to hot summer days where the sun sets just in time to come up again.  The diverse landscape ranges from boreal forest to tundra plains. We have designed a compact house where the living space is very connected to the surroundings and features:

• Continuous bands of windows on both floors
• Main floor with a living room, dining nook, wood stove, kitchen and efficient bathroom tucked under the stairs
• Second floor bedroom overlooking the living room, built in cabinets for clothes/storage and a washer and dryer combo
• 1 bedroom
• 1 bath
