Big windows screened by gardens and ornamental trees. Heated concrete floors. Custom cabinetry. Midcentury modern classic furnishings. Exquisite private garden space. All of this centrally located to enjoy the best of Toronto's urban offerings, its big parks and the Great Lake. The space The house is designed by Toronto's renowned LGA Architectural Partners, makers of some of the most iconic public and private spaces in Canada.
The house has strikingly simple yet dramatic exterior lines. On the inside – "to a sculptural, sun-splashed effect," writes Design Lines magazine, "the architect graduated the ceiling heights from 2.7 metres in the kitchen and 3.6 metres in the sunken living room to a soaring 7.3 metres in the stairwell that leads to the bedrooms and study. As you ascend, skylights at the very top increase the home’s feeling of airiness."
There is a hidden LED light system in the soaring stairway, "with settings that alternate between psychedelic swirls and soothing swathes of colour," says Design Lines. "The light fills the space, and the house glows."
The home features heated floors on every level, polished concrete with gorgeous area rugs. The house is cooled by an ultra-modern central AC system.
