This custom-built home is not only the personal residence of Allison Willson and her family but represents everything design means to her. Nestled on 50 acres of rolling hills just outside of Creemore, Ontario, the farm is a testament to Allison’s appreciation of craftsmanship. It has a long and linear layout, paired with rustic selections and a palette that defies traditional hues, resulting in a unique blend of contemporary and old-world charm. From the rubble-finished limestone to the carefully chosen furnishings, the house unites the beauty of natural materials, timeworn antiques, and modern furnishings while remaining warm, elevated, and, most importantly, liveable.
What an absolutely stunning home!!! I don’t have too many Canadian designers I admire but Allison is now one I will be keeping an eye on. So many elements in her home that I’m sure would be inspirational for my next home. Photos: Patrick Biller.

Located on a spacious block in Brunswick East, the Gardener’s House by Melbourne-based Splinter Society is designed to blend into the client’s ornamental garden, creating microclimates and framing views as one moves around the property. The front portion, an existing period structure, is painted a modern tonal red to rationalize its historical elements such as the masonry construction and Italianate features. This sustainable, cost-effective approach preserves the building’s narrative, blending old and new. The addition reveals a new modern living space integrating features from the original architecture. The house is surrounded by gardens, and the restrained modern addition, clad in raw cement, is gradually being engulfed by plants.
