The Craftsman Bungalow

Set within a mature, tree-lined lot in Mississauga, this custom home is a study in balance, proportion, and timeless design. This residence celebrates harmony between architecture and landscape — a seamless blend of natural tranquility and refined craftsmanship.

The architecture layers classic gabled forms with modern detailing, creating a home that feels both grounded and contemporary. Natural stone, horizontal siding, and warm wood accents are paired with standing-seam metal roofing to strike the perfect balance between rustic texture and modern precision. Every element — from the gable proportions to the placement of the windows — was designed to achieve visual balance and enduring curb appeal.

Inside, light and space flow effortlessly toward the outdoors. Expansive glazing opens the living areas to the wooded surroundings, while deep roof overhangs and covered patios create comfortable outdoor living spaces that mirror the home’s architectural rhythm. The result is a residence that feels at once sophisticated and inviting — a home designed for family life, connection, and quiet retreat.

Every detail reflects the David Small Designs philosophy: custom homes that are a true reflection of their owners, rooted in craftsmanship and tied to the realities of construction. This project embodies our approach — efficient, functional layouts united with stunning aesthetics, where balance, proportion, and scale come together in perfect harmony.
