The design process of the house on Admiral road was a very collaborative one. The client, with a previous architectural education, played an integral role in developing the unique details to be found throughout her home. The open floor plan and large windows give the house a modern feel, while the brick facade speaks to the context of this beautiful, historic neighbourhood in the Annex.
Custom curtain wall was designed using rail-road track with bronze caps for the frame - the railway is a motif found throughout the project - with contrasting operable window inserts framed in teak. This gives a unique effect seen here.
The unique context of this site within the city presented the opportunity for a second project on the same lot: a copper-clad Coach House nestled in the landscape of the back yard.
