This unique new-build residence finds itself neatly slotted between two adjacent low rise buildings on a generous lot in North York.
The building draws upon a simple box form, with simple extrusions and roof planes pulled out and around the exterior to form both shelter for those on approach, as well shade to key spaces from the summer sun path.
Floor planes have been shifted and opened up above the ground floor plate, allowing natural light to pour in from above, thus avoiding a dark inner core to the building. As an extension of this, larger openings have been located to rooms that are deeper, allowing light to pour further into the buildings envelope.
