Welcome to White Rock, an architectural triumph by Omar Gandhi Architects, nestled into the serene hillside of the Gaspereau River Valley and overlooking Benjamin Bridge Winery. Designed by Canada’s top-ranked architecture firm, as named by Architizer in 2024, this minimalist retreat seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings. A finalist for the Architizer A+ Awards, this home is both a retreat and an experience, offering a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The heart of the home is the living room, where a Stuv fireplace anchors the east wall and large windows frame breathtaking valley views with raw steel benches offering the perfect perch to take in the landscape. A custom acoustic ceiling enhances the serene ambiance, and the micro-herringbone weathered oak flooring features inlaid raw steel at the hearth. The sleek stainless kitchen, outfitted with Fisher & Paykel appliances, including an integrated double DishDrawer, disappears into the minimalist aesthetic, balancing form and function. Sold fully furnished, the home blends curated antiques with contemporary Canadian craftsmanship. Collaborations with local artisans shine through the custom chandelier by PEI artisan and Shaker-style dining chairs by a New Brunswick furniture maker, accented with leatherwork by a Nova Scotian artisan and a Nova Scotia-made fire pit enhancing the outdoor experience. The bedrooms, clad in smoked oak, feature raw steel shelving and industrial lighting, while large picture windows offer tranquil forest views. The bathroom includes a picture window facing the steeply sloping hillside, framing a view that is both peaceful and immersive. A rooftop patio, designed as an outdoor living room, provides panoramic views over the Gaspereau Valley and is built to support a hot tub. Set on 4+ acres in Nova Scotia’s wine country, White Rock is a celebration of architecture; fusing design and nature with the best of contemporary Canadian architecture.
