a modern house with wood siding and windows on the front, surrounded by green trees
The Clarksburg House exterior blends new and old with intention. A simple addition clad in black metal and naturally weathering wood reorients the home toward the backyard and adds much-needed living space. Large windows bring in natural light and connect interior spaces to the surrounding landscape, while a wraparound deck offers extended outdoor living. #solaresarchitecture, #clarksburghouse, #modernaddition, #backyarddesign, #woodcladding, #metalcladding, #contemporaryarchitecture,

Mudroom, but make it playful. At Clarksburg House, we introduced a bold colour-blocked storage unit to keep everyday life organized — and bright. Painted cubbies with open shelving, built-in hooks, and a solid oak bench make for a hardworking (and good-looking) drop zone.

Original Brick
At Clarksburg House, we retained the original brick party wall to bring warmth and texture to the stairwell. A simple wood handrail and clean white stair guard keep the space minimal and functional. A narrow vertical window brings in daylight while maintaining privacy an important consideration in a compact layout.

Light Filled Kitchen
This kitchen brings everyone together. Designed for a family that loves to cook, eat, and entertain, it’s equal parts workspace and gathering spot. Generous storage flows seamlessly from the mudroom through to the kitchen.

Clear views
Rub-a-dub-dub Morning light, soft tiles, and a perfect soak. At Clarksburg House, the bathroom is all about calm and clarity. A clean palette of pale green tile, terrazzo flooring, and minimalist black fixtures keeps things grounded. The freestanding tub sits beneath a wide window for sun-soaked baths, while a walk-in shower brings hotel-level ease to everyday routines.

Old and new, nestled together under the trees.⁠ ⁠ At Clarksburg House, the original brick structure meets the modern addition—clad in soft-toned wood with clean black detailing. Set back from the street and surrounded by mature trees, the home feels private, grounded, and in tune with its setting.⁠ ⁠ Builder @valleyview_construction Photography by @nannespringer #SolaresArchitecture #ClarksburgHouse #ModernAddition #HeritageMeetsModern #SustainableArchitecture #OntarioDesign #WoodCladding Homework Nook, Mudroom Cubbies, Village Shop, Double Vanity Bathroom, Wood Cladding, Family Movie Night, Metal Panels, Sustainable Architecture, Covered Porch

Modern Rear Addition
The rear addition is rectilinear and contemporary, clad in thermally modified ash and black metal panels. It contrasts with the original home while honoring it, creating a dynamic architectural dialogue between eras. Architecture : Solares: Built by Valleyview Construction, Photography by Nanne Springer

Original Edwardian Charm Restored
The Clarksburg House begins with a nod to its 1890s Edwardian roots. The front façade has been fully restored, bringing back the grand original window and entry. The stone porch glows warmly at dusk, inviting guests into the heart of the home.
