Imber Akse House, Burlington

Imber Akse House is the home to be of Leslie Akse and Barry Imber, long time Burlington residents and owners of 15 year old design and web firms in downtown Burlington. The house project reflects our philosophies on the environment, sustainability and green living.

Located in the old downtown of Burlington Ontario Canada, Imber Akse House will sit on a large well treed suburban lot. This lot is wonderfully unique in not only it’s 1/4 acre size but in the green space that surrounds the property by way of the neighbouring properties and a passive municipal alley. Most of the trees and bushes have been allowed to mature without concern for replacement by manicured gardens or sculptural tree species. Consequently, the property is well shaded and diverse in urban wildlife.

The lot front faces south west providing almost constant summer sun exposure uninterrupted by the single story home to the south.
