Canada houses
Robert Street Residences, Toronto by Taylor Smyth Architects
Two adjacent contemporary houses in a Victorian Toronto neighbourhood, designed by the same architect and for the same client, subtly respond to the local vernacular and to each other, while expressing their own unique characters.
Vancouver Courtyard House / Leckie Studio Architecture + Design
Vancouver Courtyard House is a study in scale and proportion. The central three-sided courtyard serves to introduce light and air into the center of a relatively long and narrow floor plan, effectively introducing a third ‘middle yard’ to the otherwise typical front and rear yards.
Whalon Bay Cottage, Ontario / Altius Architecture
The Whalon Bay Cottage is both thoughtful and purposeful in its design. It is a tribute to a long legacy of cottaging in Muskoka that is slowly but surely becoming a year-round destination, especially given recent world events.
Leslieville Renovation / ASQUITH Architecture
This was an extensive renovation to a semi-detached house in Leslieville Ontario for an accomplished ceramic artist. When the house was initially removed of all its interior finishes, our client fell in love with the existing brick, and it was decided the house would be insulated from the exterior and clad in metal.
North Toronto Renovation / ASQUITH Architecture
This renovation to a house in the Bedford Park neighbourhood of Toronto dismantled and re-created a main floor to create an entirely open concept space for a family of four.
BlackCliff House / McLeod Bovell
The BlackCliff House is situated on Canada’s west coast, perched on a granite rock rising 40 meters above the shoreline below. This location is a geographical “half-way” point for a dispersed family who are intermittently working and living on multiple continents.
Waxwing Residence, Toronto / Ancerl Studio
The Waxwing Residence is a three-level home with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, spread over 4200 square feet on a forested ravine lot. The idea of this house is fully expressed in the front elevation: two wings connected by a transparent, glass bridge inviting the surrounding trees of the ravine to play into the interior.
Botfield Residence, Toronto / Ancerl Studio
Nestled in a quiet neighborhood just outside the city centre, Botfield Residence connects inhabitants with the outdoors, and exudes style and comfort for modern living.
