Playter Estates Reinvention: A Unique Design In Toronto

This Playter Estates Reinvention – a full renovation and two-story addition to a two-story house located in the Playter Estates neighborhood of Toronto, Canada – is a stunning example of Asquith Architecture’s design vision.

With the goal of providing more light, space, and a modern twist to the 100+-year-old house, Asquith Architecture designed a bright and colorful living space that perfectly combines modern design with a traditional feel. The addition of a large deck, floor-to-ceiling windows, and vibrant kitchen and bathroom spaces give this home a unique look that is sure to stand out in the vibrant city of Toronto.

Badlands Home: A Bright and Fresh Intervention in Ontario

The Badlands Home, a beautifully designed house located in Toronto, Canada, is the latest project from the BLDG Workshop.

Surrounded by the rolling hills of Caledon Ontario, the house was designed to frame views over the countryside while also paying homage to the local Caledon Badlands. Clean minimalistic volumes and white vinyl windows give the house a bright, fresh look that complements the many months of snow the area gets.

Discover Toronto’s Stacked House, a testament to contemporary architecture by Atelier RZLBD, nestled in the heart of Forest Hill, a neighborhood known for its lush greenery and affluence.

This three-story masterpiece is a clever play of volumes, akin to a stack of books, where the topmost block, clad in sleek metal paneling, seemingly cantilevers above the rest. As an intimate yet monumental home, the Stacked House rejects homogeneity, presenting an alternative to traditional residential architecture in the city. A labyrinthine interior spiraling around a quadruple-height staircase and diverse light shafts promises a sense of constant motion, tantalizing the senses, while the subtle differentiation of the exterior blocks in stucco, charred wood, and metal imparts an artistic sophistication that’s distinctly Canadian.
