In Toronto’s lakeside streetcar suburb, the Tesseract House proves contextual while owing little to convention and serving as the antithesis to recent vernaculars. By simply and unconventionally engaging the immediate context this contemporary alternative has an impactful, yet unimposing outward presence. The geometry and depth of experience from which the house derives its name is not provocative, but nuanced, simple, complex, revealing itself over time.
