This transformative intervention to a home in midtown Toronto comprises a partial renovation and addition; the poetic heart of the project locates itself in the master suite on the second floor, which, in warmer months, draws in the majesty of the abundant trees on the property and in the adjacent park. Comprised of an open-concept bedroom and luxurious bathing area plus ensuite, this is a refuge, a place of hushed serenity away from the demands of busy careers and frenetic urban life. An enhanced connection to nature and landscape is achieved through a richly comprehensive design strategy.
