The Place: A modern, three-bedroom cottage, built with sustainability in mind.

Bragging Rights: This place was the winner of a 2012 Ontario Association of Architects award for Design Excellence. Its sleek interiors are the handiwork of Toronto’s Tact Architecture Inc.

Big Selling Point: Quality, sustainable materials like energy-efficient insulated concrete, cedar and Owen Sound stone are bound to help the structure age gracefully.
