Summary: Two light-filled modern homes on an infill lot in downtown Toronto, designed to exceed Net Zero Ready standards and support sustainable and healthy living.
The building, with two 4-level residences, is among the increasing number of houses in Toronto designed to minimize the carbon footprint. Providing modern design with clean lines, the project utilizes gentle intensification and off-site construction, all while nurturing sustainable and healthy city living.
Expansive efforts were taken to create a highly energy-efficient building. The result is two homes which emit 80% fewer greenhouse gases and use 60% less energy than if the homes were constructed simply to building code standards. Apart from energy efficiency, we also focused on providing superior indoor air quality and a healthy living environment within each residence.
