Salvage is a historic fishing village in Canada’s Newfoundland with a population around 108. Between its town center and the neighboring North Atlantic Ocean lies a peninsula where two simple rectangular volumes with a gabled roof are accessed only by boat or on foot. The pair of homes, as well as a nearby shelter, are known altogether as the Burdens Point Residence. The residence acts as a seasonal abode for a Toronto-based real estate agent and her family. They called on Reflect Architecture to evolve Burdens Point to fit a contemporary lifestyle while maintaining its vernacular and Salvage-specific history.
The two homes that make up Burdens Point are the Burden House, the slightly larger house built in 1914 that acts as the main residence for the client, and the Dunn House, built in 1912 that functions more as a guest house where the children and their friends can stay.
