GREAT LAKE STUDIO

Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle.
A small rustic cabin on a rugged lakefront site in Muskoka, Little Dipper has a single goal in mind: to transport visitors into an immersive wilderness experience, drawing upon the property’s full range of natural features.
For this new residence in Toronto's Swansea neighborhood, the Homeowners had two seemingly contradictory wishes: Privacy, and lots of natural daylight. The home is arranged around a 4-storey interior light well, stretched out in an east-west orientation, designed to capture the movement of sunlight from early dawn to sunset.

This new residence in Etobicoke was shaped by a complex design agenda: Create a distinctly contemporary home that doesn’t feel alien to its mild suburban surroundings; organize the lifestyle needs of a large, extended family within the small footprint of the bungalow it is replacing; and provide a calming environment with strong connections to the outdoors throughout.
A complete reimagining of a typical downtown Toronto semi-detached residence for a next-generation family. Working within the constraints of the existing footprint, the interior was aggressively opened-up both horizontally and vertically to create bright, fluid spaces across three levels, allowing the home to breathe.
An aging downtown semi-detached with small windows, dark interior, and heavy masonry porch enclosure has its front dramatically opened-up to create a fresh new face with a completely different relationship to the street.
A new pleated stainless steel frieze hovers above the ground floor level of a former light-industrial warehouse building on Spadina Avenue, absorbing light and color from its surroundings and reflecting these back in a rhythmic, fractured pattern.
