All project descriptions are provided by SBID Awards entrants.

This property is located in an established pocket of Toronto with spacious, but traditional homes. These clients were looking to create an urban refuge in a contemporary, minimalist and inviting design. This crisply tailored design composes a well-structured, modern yet warm and versatile living space for an active family of five.

Thoughtful details create the relaxed and sophisticated environment the clients were seeking. This includes the mindful use of natural materials, such as textured woods and fabrics with a distinct sense of warmth and simplicity.

A hidden bar with a glass floor that connects vertically to the wine room below, the stained black staircase with an oak wood stringer and bronze sleeves in the main stairwell, a sculptural ceiling in the family room and kitchen, and the clients own eclectic art collection are highlights of this home.
