This transformation from a 2-storey house in Bloor West Village into a custom-built forever home was a long-awaited labor of love. The clients sought a modern home that would blend seamlessly into the street they had called home for 11 years. Bringing more natural light into the interior was a key priority achieved through strategic design choices. Relocating the stairs created a central shaft of light and unique spatial experience, enhanced by angled, north-facing skylights spanning from the new third floor all the way down to the basement. A custom walnut kitchen, integrated lighting, discreet exterior spaces, and a sound-insulated music room are just a few of the many personalized details that make this home unique. The house was thoughtfully designed to accommodate the clients’ passions for cooking, entertaining, and environmental sustainability – featuring triple-glazed aluminum windows, radiant heated floors, a south-facing roof garden, and natural/vegan materials. It also provides ample space for guests and extended family as the clients’ children grow.
