Modern Forms

Defined by clean geometry and refined materiality, this modern custom home in Toronto captures the essence of contemporary residential architecture — where balance, proportion, and precision come together to create a timeless aesthetic. The design is composed of interlocking rectangular volumes, their rhythmic push and pull forming a visual dialogue between solidity and openness.

Clad in pale limestone with contrasting bands of black metal, the facade achieves a striking visual harmony—crisp lines and subtle textures working together to create a sense of quiet sophistication. Large expanses of glass introduce a transparency that connects the home to its surroundings, drawing in natural light and soft reflections from the landscape.

The façade is composed with precision and restraint, its layered design revealing depth and proportion from every angle. A recessed entry framed in dark metal establishes a bold vertical line, leading into interiors that echo the home’s clean, linear rhythm. Each volume serves a distinct purpose yet contributes to a unified whole, with transitions between inside and out carefully considered. From the street, the home conveys strength and order; from within, it feels open and fluid, shaped by light and movement.

At the rear, the composition unfolds into a private outdoor retreat that extends the home’s modern sensibility. A sleek pool and cabana form the heart of this outdoor living space, their crisp forms mirroring the main residence. Full-height glazing along the cabana’s edges creates a visual link between the two structures, maintaining the sense of connection and continuity that defines the design. The result is a modern residence that feels both grounded and expansive—an expression of modern living where structure, material, and landscape come together in perfect balance.
