Dacre Residence is a single family home located in the Toronto's High Park neighbourhood. The home sits on a dramatic sloping site in the valley of a ravine. The landscaping is an integral part of the design of the home, connecting the modern design with the rugged exterior setting. Stone terraces set at varying elevations mediate the slopping site, and arrange the exterior circulation. The home is setback from the street responding to the location of the homes on either side. Though the Dacre Residence certainly has a bold presence on the street, its warm material palette of stone, copper and wood allow it to compliment its surroundings rather than overwhelm them.
