photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.

more commentsThe same whiners that are eternally surprised why Toronto doesn’t have tourists, don’t realize that either you’re going to have something to show to people and attract them, or you can keep expecting drunken smalltowners coming for hockey games as your only tourism. Toronto is, albeit its physical size, an over-built (quantity, not quality) small-town, with its small-town mentality, lack of urban spirit and missing greatly landmark architecture like the ROM, AGO and… well that’s about it! If I were Ghery, I wouldn’t even bother trying to fight the stale, boring city that would give anything to be like, e.g. NYC but doesn’t know how. I sincerely hope that buildings like these will be built in Toronto, to launch it into the shy entry-level of the real great cities of the world. And for those who oppose: pinch into that carefully tailored savings plan, go travel sometimes and see how new & old architecture can be married in great, big, cities that have existed long before when Toronto was 1 church, some mud and a road… much, much longer!
Someone left the cake out in the rain ………………
Great! Appreciate your effort………….
I was wondering if they could complete it first and then maybe we can point fingers towards where exactly to dump it..the designers don’t want suggestions but I would say try a more upscale community like toronto, dallas, houston, atlanta, paris, kansas city, minneapolis, boston and nyc. I don’t see anything wrong with it but maybe i’m wrong such structures get turned down all the time.
Fantastic! Perfect for the city that ignored whiners before and built the CN Tower, now a true symbol of Toronto everywhere around the world.
Houses without yards !!! = Prisons in the skys
sexy
I love these buildings! They are unique, soaring, artistic and will become iconic, a landmark of the city! This complex needs to be built!!!
There is an older and more conservative faction of Toronto that doesn’t want to see this project happen, but the youth want something newer and taller and more artistic than the banal glass boxes of the condo boom.
We want to see Toronto come into it’s own. We want to see the future.
