Toronto Buildings: Architecture
Ontario Architectural Developments, Canada, North America
post updated 30 November 2024
We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Toronto Building Designs. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.
We cover completed buildings, new building designs and architecture competitions across Ontario. The focus is on contemporary buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

Pop-Up Office – 11 Feb 2013
The POP-UP Office is an installation that explores the evolving way in which we work. Using modular units that can be combined in different ways, the result is a workspace that is simultaneously bare bones and tailored to the individual.
Whale House

New Toronto House – 16 Oct 2012
The Whale house is another spatial experiment by rzlbd, a monochromic contemporary manifesto that evolves around a central detached box painted in red standing free inside a three storey height foyer. The building appears to have swallowed the box symbolizing the contemplation space inside the spacious jaw of the whale that swallowed Jonah.

Patio House Toronto – 17 May 2012
Patio House, located in the Nortown area in Toronto, Ontario, is a minimalist two-storey wood structure house, which carefully responds to three major questions: the needs of the residents, the situation of the site, and the environmental concerns. Being located in a corner lot, the building maintains a presentable façade for the residential street while controlling sun exposure from the west.

Law School Building Toronto – 18 Apr, 2012
A newly transformed Osgoode Hall Law School opened officially today at York University in Toronto. An extensive renovation and expansion of the 43-year-old facility adds study and administrative space and brings a welcome infusion of natural light and improved amenities to better serve Canada’s largest law school with more than 1000 students and 155 full-time and adjunct faculty.
