little wing
There is a quiet pull toward a different way of living. One defined by presence, connection, and the quality of everyday life. We believe a home should be more than a backdrop. It should shape how we live, encouraging us to slow down, gather, and notice what matters. In places like Westport and the Rideau Lakes, this way of living still feels possible. Mornings are slower. Conversations linger. Time is felt, not chased. Not an escape, but a return.
For over forty years, Ottawa families have trusted Lagois to transform the way they live. Today, we're proud to extend that same philosophy to the Rideau Lakes, while remaining steadfast in our commitment to the Ottawa community that has shaped who we are.
Little Wing is an exploration of this idea: that thoughtful architecture can deepen our connection to place, to one another, and to the lives we are building. Every space should be intentional. Not designed to impress, but to endure — growing more meaningful over time.
Little Wing is more than a project. It is a philosophy of living. And for those who feel that quiet pull toward something more grounded — you already understand.
INTRODUCING LITTLE WING
exploring what home can be.
Inspired by the landscapes of Westport and Rideau Lakes, Little Wing is our philosophy that
says ideas about homes must first be nurtured and explored well before they begin.
It shapes the renovations, additions, and custom homes we create at Lagois ‒ with thoughtful design, timeless architecture and a connection to place.
In addition to our work in Ottawa, Lagois intentionally considers only a select number of
commissions each year throughout Westport, Rideau Lakes, and the surrounding region.
We are deeply committed to creating places lasting for generations.
architecture is more than shelter.
It shapes how we live.
We believe the best architecture influences the way life unfolds within beautiful homes. It makes
everyday rituals feel effortless. It invites conversation. It encourages people to gather. It frames the light and feeling of each day.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
we design with intention for longevity and daily life.
Thoughtful homes are shaped around the way people truly live. They dismiss trends or temporary ideas. They are created so spaces feel effortless. Every decision behind their design is carefully considered, for example:
- how light moves
- how families gather
- how routines unfold
- how a home adapts over time.
At Lagois, we don’t believe architecture in itself creates a meaningful life, but it can create the conditions where meaningful moments happen. This belief is what guides everything we design.

OUR APPROACH
home deserves time.
Homes that endure are rarely built fast. They are shaped through patience, thoughtful decisions, and a shared commitment to creating something that will matter for generations.
We begin with people before floor plans. We ask you how you hope to live in your home. Your answer determines the rest. If you're considering a renovation, addition, or custom home in Ottawa, Westport, Rideau Lakes, or the surrounding region, and if you believe home should be designed around the life you hope to live, we'd love to hear your story.
