Set in the bucolic landscape of Prince Edward County in Ontario, the Endymion Guesthouse is a three-level, multi-generational single-family house designed for the owners’ visiting family, friends and guests. It luxuriates in the landscape, the environment, and the climate of the locale, offering a quiet bower for besotted guests. Designed by Kearns Mancini Architects Inc. using the latest Passive House practices, the guesthouse offers its residents a healthy, energy-efficient and cost-saving way of living. Porcelain tile from Laminam’s Neve collection in a 3.5mm thickness offered the lightest, strongest and most beautiful cladding option, allowing the firm to create a ventilated rainscreen wall while avoiding any thermal bridging.
