Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders
An existing house was deconstructed to make room for 7200 SF of new ground up construction including a main house, pool house, and lanai. This hillside home was built through a phased sequence of extensive excavation and site work, complicated by a single point of entry. Site walls were built using true dry stacked stone and concrete retaining walls faced with sawn veneer. Sustainable features include FSC certified lumber, solar hot water, fly ash concrete, and low emitting insulation with 75% recycled content.

The new estate home is located in the exclusive Adena Meadows gated community. The community is centred on the Magna Golf Club and is on the edge of the environmentally protected Oak Ridges Moraine in Aurora. The collection of exclusive custom built homes has been created by some of the best local architects and builders. One of our client’s objectives was to maximize the visual connection between the house interior and the surrounding pond and greens.
We adopted a “butterfly” plan. Wings radiate from a central and grand hall. The centre hall neatly separates a public and private wing. The lower level offers an exceptional media and games room. The estate home is situated in an ideal spot for the passionate golfer looking for the tranquility of country living. The country living is enhanced by the design of stone terraces, formal gardens and an in ground pool.
The grounds and home work in unison to achieve the best in country home living. Classic details and proportions, the design borrows from the best in period architecture.
