Composed of intersecting gable and mono-pitched volumes, the form echoes the quiet vernacular of Newfoundland\u2019s built tradition while articulating a modern silhouette. Textural contrast defines the exterior. Vertical, dark-grey cladding is juxtaposed with crisp, horizontal white <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wood<\/a> siding to sculpt a nuanced interplay of light and shadow. Strategic window placement frames extended views of the harbor, drawing the sea into daily life, while sheltered courtyard spaces mediate between interior comfort and coastal exposure.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1154870 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"contrasting gable and mono-pitched metal roofs top wood-clad coley's point house in canada\" width=\"818\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coleys-point-house-woodford-architecture-designboom-818-1.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.janebrokenshire.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Jane Brokenshire<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coley\u2019s Point House stands as a reflection of its coastal setting<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the home is designed with an emphasis on simplicity, light, and connection to its surroundings.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/woodfordarchitecture.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">design team<\/a> at Woodford Architecture arranges spaces in a way that encourages both quiet retreat and moments of gathering, with views and movement thoughtfully considered at every turn. The overall effect is one of balance, between openness and shelter, tradition and modernity, landscape and dwelling. More than a residence, Coley\u2019s Point House stands as a reflection of its setting, offering calm, clarity, and enduring connection to the rugged Newfoundland coast. It is a home that feels both timeless and deeply rooted, shaped by the rhythms of land and sea.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"contrasting gable and mono-pitched metal roofs top wood-clad coley's point house in canada\" width=\"818\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coleys-point-house-2-68c950165ebad.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>the residence by Woodford Architecture is set within the coastal landscape of Coley\u2019s Point, Canada<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"contrasting gable and mono-pitched metal roofs top wood-clad coley's point house in canada\" width=\"818\" height=\"1226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coleys-point-house-1-68c950165eb41.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>the home embraces its maritime setting with intersecting gable and mono-pitched volumes<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"contrasting gable and mono-pitched metal roofs top wood-clad coley's point house in canada\" width=\"818\" height=\"1226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coleys-point-house-4-68c950165ec21.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>the house\u2019s contemporary form is rooted in the vernacular traditions of Newfoundland<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Woodford Architecture builds a coastal residence in Canada \u00a0 Nestled within the serene coastal landscape of Coley\u2019s Point,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[18636,76,354,355,49,48,356,75,1242,3869],"class_list":["post-150569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-architecture-in-canada","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-residential-architecture-and-interiors","tag-wood-and-timber-architecture-and-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
