Designed for a large
double lot in a premier neighborhood in north Toronto, the project's ambition
is split between providing a space that can take advantage of the site’s
abundant natural features and also serve as a hub for a growing international
family. Large portions of glazing along with clean lines and simple
volumetric proportions underscore the client’s interest in creating a space
with an effortless flow between interior and exterior; in a climate that is not always conducive to
this type of habitation. The interior layout of the house has been
carefully crafted to provide an informal and inviting space with an understated
sophistication. The architecture and landscape design at the front of the
building have been choreographed to allow for an abundance of natural light and
a feeling of airiness without sacrificing privacy. A simple, yet
enduring material palette blends Plaster, Zinc cladding, along with various
natural woods and stones.
