1A House design review with Saaraa Premji Mitha

The corner lot shape results in a distinctly architectural building form that maximizes views and light while also creating privacy from the adjacent street. Linear windows are used consistently along the upper volumes to light the private spaces and geometrically align with the thin standing seam accent cladding. The light-coloured and low-maintenance exterior finishes of the house and laneway reflect more sunlight into the inner courtyard. A full height fence and planter borders the courtyard and unifies the two homes into one sanctuary. Directly connected to the outdoor patio are the home's main dining and entertaining spaces. With an open floorplan, nine foot ceilings, and tall south-facing windows, this area is designed as a bright and spacious multi-use haven. An integrated gas fireplace bridges between dining and living, further enhancing the year-round comfort and appeal of living and entertaining here.
