ZERAFA STUDIO designed the Riverhouse Niagra, a striking modern home located on the banks of the river bearing the same name in Niagra Falls, Ontario. Two stacked rectangular volumes comprise 4700 square feet of interior living space and 1200 square feet of outdoor terrace space.

Thoughtfully designed exterior lighting highlights the varied textures of the materials adorning the home. These include rough-cut limestone, metal panels, and cedar cladding. A lap pool lies adjacent to the rear deck and a covered patio created by a cantilevered upper volume.

Floor to ceiling glass runs the length of the home, creating an open, transparent atmosphere inside. Sprawling, uncluttered public living spaces occupy the lower floors while bedrooms reside upstairs.
