This remarkable undertaking came to fruition through a momentous collaboration between Merkaba Homes, visionaries of Toronto's real estate realm, and a distinguished design team. In their pursuit of a design house that embodied a global perspective on urban living, Merkaba embarked on a quest to find the ideal partner. Their journey traversed continents until they unearthed a true gem among interior designers—Rohit Bhoite—who then journeyed from India to bestow his artistic touch upon this resplendent residence.

With this philosophy in mind, he embarked on a mission to infuse vitality into this urban dwelling.Gracing a prestigious avenue, the architectural design of the house's facade embodies the essence of contemporary burnt-brick aesthetics, accentuated by the meticulous incorporation of vintage precast elements. The stately mahogany door, an epitome of refined beauty, beckons guests into a space that effortlessly evolves to reflect their individual identities and desires.
