Wood and stone combined to pay homage to the surrounding environment.

As featured on Dezeen.com, Studio Paolo Ferrari – a Toronto-based architect firm – combined wood and granite in this glorious retreat as a way to pay homage to the surrounding environment.

“We wanted to create a place of respite from the intensity of city life and also to build as sensitively as we could, complementing, but never overwhelming, the surrounding environment,” said Studio Paolo Ferrari.

Concrete and wood have long been paired together by architects, builder and DIY homeowners.  The blend of rugged, cold stone and warm, inviting wood are a classic combo when looking to connect the interior of your home with the outside.
