El Nido

Nine homes come together as a continuous, coherent project, creating both a strong identity and sense of community within. A place for families with the shared goal and desire for an urban sanctuary, both in the midst of the city yet somehow existing in its own corner of it, hence its name “El Nido” (The Nest). A place for family and friends. The projects share design features that tie the complex together; the careful use of stone, wooden elements, and precise geometry combine to create an orderly composition, softened by the abundant vegetation. As a reflection of that shared common goal, the design iterates on ideas born out of Mexican tradition that are made new by their re-shuffling. Countless examples of a keen attention... More

Waterford

A 3 tower development with the front tower housing larger exclusive residential units complete with a majority of the units having direct elevator access from their suite. This 10 storey tower along the waterfront framed with a 16 storey + 18 storey tower at the rear, defining a central outdoor courtyard space for the residents. Design of the towers takes formal cues from its context – the curving glass façade is a reference to the adjacent lake and provides for a dynamic/fluid façade, including the blue coloured glazing.   A rigid precast concrete panel framework anchors the glass volumes to the built form and contrasts the curving shape of the glass. Vertical precast elements frame the glass volume and provide b... More

Waterscapes

With distinction in mind waterscapes’ inspiration comes from its surrounding context. This corner less glass elegance soars to 30 storeys in height, allowing for panoramic views of the lake while introducing a geometric form that is sleek, slender and appealing.This architecture moves away from the codes that generally define the image held by high rise buildings and particular care is taken in the addition of details through the cast of shadow and light.Signature features such as the composition of the balcony slabs and glass handrails on the tower façade express its elliptical shape. The spacing of the continuous wrap around balconies have been intentionally removed as to introduce a sense of horizontal movement further accentuating the s... More

Art Deco Inspired Home

Starting with a raw space, this project was for clients with a spectacular collection of Art Deco furniture and art.  We wanted to integrate the antique pieces purchased across the world and marry them to a brand new condo in midtown Toronto. So the concept was to create a home for their collection, creating a balance between Art Deco and contemporary design.  We brought elements and flavours and the client’s affinity for the period, and integrated it into today’s living, so that it also feels modern and luxurious and usable.  More
