Inside Designer Nicholas Lewin’s Timeless Nova Scotia Home

Residential designer Nicholas Lewin of Spencer Lewin Inc. takes us inside his home in Chester, Nova Scotia, a sailing paradise known for its beautiful architecture and shorelines. Inspired by vernacular architecture, Nicholas favours timeless design. “I don’t like it when ego intrudes into architecture and things look dated in 10 years,” he says. On his quirky lot, two connected buildings work together: the 600-square-foot main house has an open-concept kitchen and living space, designed around how people actually live. “Being able to witness the chef in the kitchen is critical,” he says. The second building holds his office and TV room, while a pool house includes a gym, sauna and second ensuite bedroom for guests.
