Perched on the Bay of Fundy, the home offers spectacular ocean vistas.

Jenipher Gidney wanted a home that would blend seamlessly with the community, not "stick out like a sore thumb."

With dramatic views of the Bay of Fundy and a rugged wooded setting, this two-level home in Sandy Cove, N.S. showcases nature and modern design.

The Gidney house is proof that a home can be stylish and comfortable without breaking its community's aesthetic. The rustic exterior gives little hint of the comforts within.

With a clear vision and detailed plans, the Gidneys worked hard to build the home they envisaged.

Carefully chosen local artwork complements the home's earthy vibe.

Distinctive wooden beams tie the home to its natural setting.
