Collection by Matthew Keeshin
Elegant Toronto Homes
Spacious kitchens and fantastic facades round out this Canadian collection.
On the triplex’s second floor, the homeowners’ living room is framed by a sizeable bay window. The room centers on an EQ3 couch and Blu Dot’s Free Range coffee table. A fireplace, finished with plaster, serves as a source of added warmth during the winter and a focal point all year round. The interiors were designed by Mason Studio.
“Sustainability is very important to us,” lead architect Heather Dubbeldam says. “It is easy to design with passive systems, to use passive sustainable principles to influence the design and layout of the house.” Her team reduced the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting through carefully positioned doors and windows that draw in natural light and breeze. New insulation, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and low-energy lighting also minimize the homeowners’ dependence on utilities.
