Del Terrelonge and his firm, Rhed-22, are known for their work on the Templar hotel in Toronto, which is regarded as one of the most stylistically advanced spaces in the city. Here, Terrelonge's use of Corian material took a much different direction: the form of a white Japanese Tea House. The concept taps into spirituality as well as traditional Japanese aesthetics, creating a Corian structure that embraces the traditional and the modern. 800 kilos of Corian material was formed to measure in Italy and exported to Toronto. The result is stunning, with humanly-comfortable proportions and a simple and understated elegance. Photo 6 of 20 in IDS Toronto 2011 by Alexis Leino
