MODERNest House 3
Toronto, Canada
Finalist, 2015 A+Awards, Concepts - Architecture +Self Initiated Projects
Project Featured on Mar 29, 2015
Built on a wide yet very shallow lot, the house sits against its western neighbor, and opens onto its side to create a private fenced courtyard. In addition, a green roof and deck provide uninterrupted skyline views.
MODERNest is led by architects. The aesthetic is modern and warm, clean and welcoming. The black siding is contemporary, but the texture of the wood grain is friendly and complements more traditional neighboring houses. Natural wood accents are revealed where the rectangular volume is carved away to create recessed entry porches, shaded exterior decks and windows. This is a contrast to the bright white interior, which is designed to capture as much daylight as possible, given the building code restrictions on windows in walls along lot lines. The houses incorporate large skylight elements, generous windows up to the ceiling and operable sliding glass walls facing the gardens.
MODERNest aims to keep the plans simple and flexible for the changing needs of any family, and yet provides the impression of a customized house. This is a result of the design process that considers the flow between spaces and levels, and the opportunities to create connections between the interiors and the landscapes on each site. MODERNest details - niches for artwork, bespoke cabinetry and material choices ? add to this effect.
Buyers of a MODERNest house by-pass the stress and time of building or renovating a house to suit their needs. They avoid the work of finding a property, selecting an architect and engaging in design decisions, negotiation the city planning and permitting process, financing the property purchase and construction costs, and monitoring the construction process. MODERNest provides the opportunity to make personalized decisions such as appliance and plumbing fixture selections, cabinet interiors or tile choices if desired.
