Michelangelo Project – North Gower
Revision Built

The Michelangelo Project invites you into a rare kind of home; one where timeless comfort, modern performance, and thoughtful design come together in a way you can feel the moment you walk through the door. Once a drafty 1975 bungalow, it has been completely transformed into a striking example of what is possible when craftsmanship and building science are brought together without compromise.

Rebuilt from the solid bones out by Revision Built, the new home was designed around durability, occupant health, and energy efficiency, resulting in a residence that looks refined yet performs at the highest level. Behind the clean, contemporary finishes lies a high-performance assembly that includes a “Perfect Wall” system with four control layers, a fully excavated, waterproofed and insulated foundation, a double roof system, continuous exterior insulation, triple-glazed windows, and a fully electrified HVAC system. The result is a home that is quieter, healthier, more comfortable, and built to last.

Registered with Natural Resources Canada as a Net Zero Ready renovation and case study, the Michelangelo Project is both a showcase of sustainable design and a move-in-ready opportunity for the discerning buyer who values quality, intelligent design, and long-term performance. Set on a beautiful 1 acre private property just 10 minutes south of Manotick and Barrhaven, it offers a rare chance to own a future-forward home that is truly remarkable.
