The 2,000 square foot Rose-Range Tudor brick and stone house is described
as "ideal traditional architecture" befitting Niagara-on-the-Lake, by the internationally renowned DPZ firm that designed The Village.
An elongated bay window to the side, flagstone steps at the front, a lead-covered copper porch roof and a hand-cup stone foundation
are among exterior features. Inside, the layout is circular, rooms flowing one to the other with simplicity ordering a quiet
elegance. Built-in bookcases and a mantlepiece by craftsman John Oliver are among the special touches, as arelocally crafted operating
shutters with reproduction hardware.

The Garrison Village Drive Barn :
Timber frame construction was used to create a simple "Dutch Barn" with
Shaker and Mennonite roots. Clad in cedar siding with a cedar roof.
By taking advantage of the level changes dictated by the 150 year old
structural timber frame, a multi leveled residential space was created
punctuated with a clear storey designed to pull light in from all
sides. The great room with its 20ft high wooden ceiling, wide southern
yellow pine plank flooring and exposed beams invites you to sit and relax by
the hearth of the two sided fireplace.
