Bedroom

Joel built the custom bunk beds to fit the small footprint. The walls are covered in Lulu & Georgia wallpaper.

The corner bedroom’s inspired ocean view is made possible by wall-to-wall Marvin Modern Multi-Slide doors.

To save space, each child’s room has a mezzanine bed with the closet tucked underneath.

Peekaboo windows continue on the first floor, where an expansive, light-flooded primary bedroom connects to the elements under an angular pitched roof.

The home becomes progressively more private as it ascends from the open-plan living area to the upstairs rooms.

Working with his father, Anton designed and built a custom loft for the boys in the upstairs addition.

The angled wall of the addition frames excellent sightlines into the backyard and beyond. "That bedroom had a point of prospect that allowed for it to reach out to the long view," says Cuddington. The bedside sconces are Schoolhouse Electric, and the pendant is from Ross Gardam.

From one end, there’s a stunning view of West Toronto; on the other side, the family overlooks a vibrant alleyway (“We see garages and houses, a patchwork of people’s interests,” says Shelley.)

The kids’ bedrooms are located on the second story. Karis’s room is furnished with a Fatboy beanbag chair.

Nate’s Bedroom Now three, Nate occupies coveted corner real estate in a third-floor room with a treetop-level view. “It’s a great space,” Casale says, “although it is the noisiest room in the house because of the street. But by now he’s so used to sleeping through all of the sounds, I don’t think it bothers him.” The brightness of the space is enhanced by an accent wall coated in fire engine–red chalkboard paint (Benjamin Moore Natura flat-finish paint in Vermillion mixed with unsanded grout) that Nate can scribble on—as soon as his parents get around to telling him that it’s allowed. A matching red pendant lamp from the Soho shop Kiosk hangs above a six-foot-tall teepee by Dexton Kids.
