Overlooking a lush ravine, this residence adds contemporary aspiration to its historic neighbourhood. Its textured exterior is crafted from limestone and washed brick in response to the materiality of its surroundings. Guided by the client’s social lifestyle and art collection, the interior was designed to feel intimate yet spacious through an open floorplan. To mediate the desire for both exposure and privacy, large street-facing windows flood the home with natural light, while a custom-designed privacy screen shields the pedestrian view.
