AZ House
Lascelles Boulevard, Old Toronto, Toronto, Canada
AZ house
Situated in an affluent area of mid-town Toronto this
modern house serves to celebrate the clients’ love of nature and their desire to
live an active and engaged urban lifestyle.
The clients were a forward thinking couple with a drive to
create a house with clean spaces and simple detailing. Using the Incite
Method, the design process progressed through collaborative engagement
directly with the clients to ensure that the house was tailored to achieve
their objectives and enabled them to live their desired lifestyle.
Although the surrounding neighborhood is made up of
predominantly traditional houses, this modern design respects the eave lines,
porch lines and building massing of the neighboring houses. The clients had a firm desire to maintain
the mature trees on the site. Through extensive landscaping and a lush green
roof the house successfully blends into the existing tree-lined streetscape
that is characteristic of its neighborhood.
Through in depth consultation the solution converged to a
1½ story living space with a direct view and connection to the rear garden. Large windows bring light deep into the
central living space. The kitchen,
dining, den, bedrooms and washrooms wrap around two sides of the main living
space, allowing the them to benefit from natural light and views to the garden
while creating a buffer from the street to enable privacy. Windows on the
ground and second floor are arranged to optimize views of the green spaces
while minimizing views to neighboring houses. A second floor circulation
corridor lined with glazing on one side provides expansive views overlooking
the green roof to the mature trees in the rear yard.
Dining and entertaining were very important to the clients
and we were able to maximize the functionality and grandeur of these spaces.
The kitchen opens directly to both the main living space as well as the dining
room. It was designed with a large central island and ample circulation for guests
to mingle. Sliding doors, folding
walls and diaphanous millwork shelving units define a flexible dining space
that maintains a connection to both the main living area and the kitchen with
the possibility of modulating these connections as required.
Interiors are open and light. Significant thought was put into the details to help define
each space as unique while maintaining consistency throughout. Rich wood
flooring provides a base for mostly neutral walls with feature colors highlighting
several important areas. Innovative use of materials and clean details achieved
a modern feel that is also warm and homey, without straying beyond the project budget.
The clients were thrilled with the final result, which realized their vision
and enhanced their lifestyles.
