When Canadian architect Omar Gandhi set out to design a forest retreat in the Gaspereau River Valley, a popular four-season destination for skiing, hiking, cycling, and wine tourism in Nova Scotia, his aim was to create “a meditative escape” for family, friends, and colleagues to disconnect, unwind, and re-center following the pandemic. Located on a steep rocky incline high above the valley and reached via a meandering driveway through the forest, the property could not have been more suitable for such aspirations.
