Glimmer House: Merging Victorian and Nautical Aesthetics in Toronto

Glimmer House: Merging Victorian and Nautical Aesthetics in Toronto

Introducing the Glimmer House, an innovatively redesigned residence by Kilogram Studio located in the heart of Toronto, Canada. Serving a modern family, this home accommodates a couple, their large dog, and frequent long-term guests in a seamlessly adaptable space.

Drawing inspiration from Toronto’s signature Victorian red brick houses, the property showcases a red-clad rear addition with a unique right triangle roof. Within the house, you will find echoes of the couple’s love for sailing and hints of submersion, as depicted in the deep window and skylight cavities filled with indirect light, glossy cabinetry reflecting brick and stucco views, and the sensory calm of the dark bathing area.

Welcome to a residence that fuses Toronto’s architectural heritage with a fluid, marine-inspired design.
