The project
Studio VAARO designed the architecture and interiors of this two-storey house on a prominent corner lot in Toronto's Humewood neighbourhood. The practice was asked to redesign a scheme already approved by the city, so it worked within the existing zoning envelope.
The inherited massing was edited into a simpler, consistent form of red brick with a cut-away porch. Inside, a sculptural white stair, terrazzo kitchen island, blue-grey joinery and oak floors give the rooms a calm, crafted feel.
