Split House is a beautiful contemporary front addition and re-cladding of a mid-century side split home in Tay, Ontario on Georgian Bay. The house has been thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the original structure while creating a stunning new look. The addition creates a welcoming new front entrance to the house and extends the garage, making the house more functional and practical for modern living.

The lower level of the house is clad in horizontal limestone, which gives the house a timeless look and feel, while the main level is clad in composite grey siding, which complements the limestone and adds a contemporary touch. The interior flooring is white oak, which adds warmth and texture to the space, while geothermal and in-floor heating have been added to boost the environmental performance of the house.

The addition has been carefully designed to maximize the amount of natural light that enters the house, with triple glazed windows throughout. This not only makes the house more energy-efficient, but it also creates a bright and welcoming living space.

Overall, Split House is a beautiful example of how a contemporary addition can enhance the look and functionality of a mid-century home while still preserving its original character and charm.
