Conception turque Nos maisons transcendent vos idées reçues sur le préfabriqué, alliant un design haut de gamme et des matériaux naturels de grande qualité à la précision de la préfabrication. Chaque étape de notre processus s'inscrit dans un système que nous avons perfectionné au fil des années grâce à la conception de plus de 300 maisons sur mesure en Amérique du Nord et ailleurs..
Every home we design is customized to augment the beauty of its site and the lifestyle of its owners. But a home isn’t always just one building. Just like the critical supporting actors in a feature film, auxiliary structures deserve attention and recognition. We bring the same modern design principles, high-quality materials, and systematized process to the secondary structures that support the main building. Here are some favorite examples:
A scene-stealing ADU
As regulations around accessory dwelling units (ADUs) loosen throughout the country, demand for ADUs has never been higher. We often hear from homeowners who want to increase their property’s capacity and value by also building an ADU. A smaller canvas imposes more restrictions, and there is nothing an architect likes more than a design problem that needs solving. Inspiring moments are often achieved through the integration of custom millwork, which provides valuable functional amenity to the limited space while also introducing warmth and materiality to these glowing jewel boxes. Our dedicated team of cabinetry designers represents a distinct advantage that Turkel Design brings to ADU design and execution. The result: guests can enjoy a private space that is every bit as resolved as the main house.
A garage that exudes quiet strength
The opportunities offered by a freestanding garage mustn’t be underrated. In addition to providing needed storage for outdoor items that have no place in the home, when its design makes the garage a joy to engage with, it becomes a destination—taking out the trash has never been so uplifting. Part of a maison de vacances rurale en Ontario, this example echoes the clean lines and warm materiality of the adjacent main house. Our team set out to design a garage that was understated and elegant. With the application of our design principles and the use of some innovative building materials, this small structure encourages us to pause and contemplate its form. This cross-laminated timber (CLT) roof plane allows for not only a strikingly thin 8-foot-deep sheltering cantilever, but one that supports the region’s heavy snowfall.
A barn with surprising versatility
In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this soaring, steel-and-glass gear barn combines a traditional pitched roofline with a modern approach. It is a multifunctional space for both winter and summer activities. In the wintertime, revelers come together to socialize by the fire, shoot pool, and enjoy the homeowner’s collection of classic cars. When summer arrives, the structure takes on further dimension, as the large hangar doors bifold upward to not only allow the easy movement of vehicles but also the free flow of old friends. In all seasons, this supporting structure houses equipment for a variety of activities, from cross-country skiing to fly-fishing, all kept at easy hand for an afternoon ski or an early morning cast in the shallows of Snake River.
A modern interpretation of a classic
Il n'existe peut-être pas d'endroit plus idyllique pour passer un après-midi d'été que le lac Muskoka, en Ontario. Ces dernières décennies, l'afflux de vacanciers fortunés a engendré une architecture de plus en plus ostentatoire pour les chalets et les hangars à bateaux modernes qui bordent le lac. Hangar à bateaux du lac Muskoka restores the form to its traditional simplicity. It is a pared-back utilitarian structure, rendered in the simplest possible materials: wood and only the required hardware for the building’s function. And while there may not be an Oscar for Best Supporting Structure, this project has won honors from Revue d'architecte et les prix de conception et de construction en bois.
Whether an ADU, a garage, a barn, or a boathouse, auxiliary structures work together to augment the experience of your custom home and make the most of the land on which you’ve chosen to build. These buildings should be designed and delivered with a dedication to quality—the kind that comes with every Turkel Design home.
