Casa Loma Residence
Architecture: StudioAC

photo : Felix Michaud
Located on a site adjoining the historic stables of Casa Loma, this Toronto residence is conceived as both a home and a private gallery for the display of art. The plan is organised around a sculptural courtyard, with a pavilion-like living space positioned at the rear of the property. This arrangement draws natural light deep into the interior while framing carefully considered views towards the garden, creating a sequence of spaces where architecture, art and landscape are closely intertwined.

Bellwoods Residence
Architecture: StudioAC

photogaph : Felix Michaud
Located in Toronto’s West End, the Bellwoods Residence is conceived as an exploration of material contrast and the transformative qualities of natural light in shaping domestic space. The design is organised around a dramatic vertical light void that cuts through the centre of the house, drawing daylight from a second-floor roof aperture deep into the ground level.

Woodland Ridge House
Design: FrankFranco Architects

photo : Bob Gundu
Woodland Ridge is a Mid-century Modernist-inspired residence set atop a nature preserve near Toronto, reflecting its owner’s combined expertise as architect, interior designer and cabinetmaker. New construction is prohibited on the site by the Toronto Region Conservation Authority, but the two-acre property contained a 60-year-old cottage with a grandfathered building footprint. This existing entitlement provided the basis for replacing the cottage with a new family home while preserving the established development parameters of the site.

South Bay House, Prince Edward County, Ontario
Design: StudioAC

photo : Felix Michaud
South Bay Residence is set on a flat rural site in Ontario, several hours east of Toronto. Oriented towards the north, the property opens onto an expansive field framed by a delicate grove of trees and a varied shoreline landscape. The distinctive character and distribution of this vegetation became an integral part of the architectural concept, shaping the house’s relationship with the surrounding landscape.

Junction Semi Toronto House
Design: StudioAC

photo : Felix Michaud
Located in Toronto’s west end, the project transforms a former church into a multigenerational home for a growing family and their parents. Extending across the full depth of the site, the existing church presented a distinctive spatial challenge, but also an opportunity to carve into the deep plan and introduce natural light further into the interior. The intervention reworks the former place of worship into a layered domestic environment while retaining the spatial qualities of the original structure.

Pocket Laneway House
Design: Weiss Architecture & Urbanism Limited

photo © Birdhouse Media
Clad in reflective corrugated galvalume, Pocket Laneway House rises above a carport, supported in part by a V-shaped steel column anchored to helical piers. Its striking, treehouse-like form is a direct response to the constraints of the site rather than a purely formal gesture. By minimising its contact with the ground, the residence preserves the root system and health of a mature maple tree, allowing the architecture to occupy the site with minimal disturbance.

Westminster Residence, High Park
Design: Batay-Csorba Architects

photo : Doublespace Photography
Situated on a corner lot within the context of traditional Edwardian gable homes in Toronto’s High Park neighborhood, the Westminster Residence aims to provide an underlying sense of familiarity and continuity within the archetypal roof form. Hidden within a steep terracotta roof, the project explores the notion of spatially occupying the underside of the roof, akin to an attic.

Wedgewood Park House
This new residence in suburban Toronto was shaped by a complex design agenda: Create a distinctly contemporary home that doesn’t feel alien to its mild suburban surroundings; organize the elaborate lifestyle needs of a large, extended family within the small footprint of the bungalow it is replacing; and provide a calming environment with powerful connections to the outdoors throughout.

South Hill House
Located north of downtown Toronto near Casa Loma, South Hill House combines the renovation and restoration of an existing brick residence with a contemporary addition. Interventions to both the interior and exterior were guided by a sensitive response to the original structure, preserving its character while adapting it to contemporary living. In contrast, the new extension adopts a distinctly modern language, defined by larger open spaces, contemporary detailing and a restrained modernist massing.

The principal living spaces extend along the rear of the house, opening onto expansive views and providing direct access to the backyard, pool and terraces. This arrangement reinforces the connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape, creating a relaxed retreat within the city.

August House
Design: Giaimo

photo : Doublespace Photography
August Toronto House Extension
August is a restrained residential project that combines the renovation of an existing house with a new addition, conceived as a natural extension of its vernacular character. The design continues the architectural language of the neighbouring houses, responding to the site’s unusually wide yet shallow proportions, which differ from the conventional Toronto residential footprint. The result is a modest intervention that strengthens the relationship between the existing dwelling, its addition and the surrounding streetscape.

Modern Victorian House
Design: Frank Franco Architects

photo : Bob Gundu
Modern Victorian, Toronto House
The design objective for Modern Victorian House was to bring the 110-year-old dwelling up to contemporary standards through a three-storey rear addition, a more coherent internal layout and updated finishes. The project was shaped by a productive tension between the owners’ contrasting aspirations: while one was committed to preserving the home’s traditional character, the other sought a distinctly bold and contemporary aesthetic. The design negotiates these positions through a careful dialogue between the historic fabric and the modern intervention.

Serene yet outrageous is the presence of this property in a typical residential street of Scarborough, Ontario. In its paradoxical behaviour, it performs a very restricted yet radical transformation on the existing space and the neighbourhood.
