Cornell Rouge was founded on the principles of new urbanism, which at its core, represented a desire to return to a quality of life that had somehow been lost “in the traditional suburban setting.

Fronts of houses are full of windows and porches, instead of garage doors. The result is a house that is full of light, and a streetscape that is reminiscent of a quaint village. Being in Cornell Rouge can make you feel a sense of nostalgia for the past and an optimism for the future. DOUG DICKINSON B.E.S., B.ARCH. FBP ARCHITECTS INC. Cornell Rouge • 7 SINGLE DETACHED ARCHITECTURE 8 • Cornell Rouge Cornell Rouge • 9 The open concept floorplan maximizes every square inch of space and allows for easy entertaining. The modern simplistic custom kitchen cabinetry is a subtle backdrop to the pop of orange in the décor. SINGLE DETACHED This oversized Master Bedroom includes a seating area, built-in fireplace, high cathedral ceiling and double doors allowing in natural light. We decided to turn up the drama, with an oversized floral wallpaper print and deep colours. There are several factors that set Madison Group apart from other developers/builders, but the two that stand out are their attention to the architectural integrity of the building envelope as well as their attention to the interior detail when space planning – two or three dimensionally. “Cornell Rouge is a great example of Madison’s experience as a builder and their pride in the product they create and bring to the market. THERESA PEREIRA PRINCIPAL DESIGNER & FOUNDER CREATE DESIGN & CO. INC This open-to-above architectural detail allows for oversized picturesque windows. The luxurious stone fi replace is surrounded by burnished gold accents, balanced shades of greys and splashes of merlot. This master ensuite is complete with a spacious double vanity, drop-in bath tub and a frameless glass shower enclosure. For this space we selected light and simple fi nishes, cabinetry and plumbing fi xtures. We added interest in the already soothing monochromatic colour scheme through texture in the wallpaper. Ultimately, we achieved a spa-like oasis where one can retreat to and enjoy. Cornell Rouge • 11 ROYAL OAK 3,736 SQ.FT. Includes 631 sq.ft.
