baukultur/ca is a Toronto-based residential design studio delivering fine modern architecture and integrated interior design. We specialize in custom homes, major renovations and additions, multiplexes, laneway and garden suites, and boutique condominiums across Toronto and the GTA.

Every project begins with a careful reading of the site, the neighbourhood context, and the life the occupants want to build. The work is rooted in a restrained European sensibility informed by Scandinavian and Japanese architecture: natural materials used with precision, spatial clarity, and light as an architectural medium. The result is calm, enduring architecture that feels coherent at every scale.

Since 2015, the studio has completed over 150 projects across the GTA. The work has been featured in Dezeen, The Globe and Mail, National Post, Elle Décor, Toronto Life, and other national and international publications.

**★★★★★ — Naza Djafarova, Nov. 2023**

> Baukultur in designing our cottage retreat in Ontario. As a family based in Toronto, finding an architect who could truly understand our vision and preferences was crucial. Felix Leicher at Baukultur understood our desires, delivering a modern and contemporary European design that seamlessly integrated with the natural surroundings of our two-acre forested land in Trent Hills, Ontario. Felix was able to blend modern aesthetics with the natural landscape. The thoughtful incorporation of architectural elements has created a visually stunning retreat and ensured functional efficiency. The attention to detail is evident throughout the entire space, making it a truly unique and beautiful environment for our family.
> In addition, the design followed efficient building strategies and aligned with higher energy efficiency standards, providing a cost-effective approach to maintaining comfortable living spaces.
> Despite our financial constraints, Felix Leicher delivered a design that exceeded our expectations, demonstrating resourcefulness and a commitment to meeting our needs.
> I wholeheartedly recommend Baukultur's services to anyone seeking a talented and dedicated architect.
>
> Construction in progress!

**★★★★★ — Paul Lampert, May 2020**

> We have a large house that is well over 100 years old. Felix from Baukultur did an amazing job of designing our renovations, upholding some of the old, together with a chic new look - especially in the new kitchen. Function and style. There was a lot of attention to detail and we were consulted on every aspect of the work. Baukultur was in direct communication with the contractor in order to make sure that all was done according to specifications. This is the highest of standards in building and renovation. Thank you for the work!

**★★★★★ — emilie\_glockner, Nov. 2018**

> We worked with Felix to put on an addition to our home and to complete a gut reno throughout.  We did this all in our 5 month timeline, on budget, and the result exceeded our expectations driven by Felix’s impeccable design sense and project management skills. Felix is a talented architect and designer and holds the utmost highest standards.  He was not only the architect for our home but also made design recommendations and served as the project manager with being the key liaison with our general contractor.  This resulted in a smooth and efficient project for us as Felix always pushed for the highest standards and if there was any issue he promptly came up with solutions.
>
> With his guidance, we totally reconfigured every room in our house (moved the location of the kitchen, dining room, living room, bathrooms, etc.) which resulted in meeting our objectives to have a bigger kitchen, a brighter home with plenty of light and lots of storage.  He incorporated the maximum number and size of windows and skylights creatively to bring light into our home which is invaluable to us.  My husband and I always felt that we were in great hands throughout the project and really enjoyed working with him and we love our new home!

**★★★★★ — Patti Routley, Jan. 2018**

> We worked with Felix to complete a main floor renovation. Felix took us through the entire experience from choosing the initial floor plan to shopping for final finishes. We loved his European design flare with clean modern lines. He not only is extremely knowledgeable about design but also knows the construction process very well. This was very helpful. Felix made every potentially difficult decision a pleasure. There was no second guessing! Felix was worth every cent!

**★★★★★ — Doug & Michele Cummings, Dec. 2017**

> We recently bought a detached home that Felix redesigned and renovated - it really was more of a complete reconstruction.  After having lived in it for over 6 months, we love it!  He brings a European influence to many aspects of his design and finishing.  He selects trades who are able to deliver very high quality.  And the few things that needed attention after delivery were addressed quickly and efficiently.  When we recently decided to build a detached garage, we had Felix design this, and we have not been disappointed - it fits perfectly with the house.  We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Felix and baukultur/ca.  (Note:  see his Project 46H for photos of the house).

**★★★★★ — Mooza Wood Arts Ltd, Dec. 2015**

> Had the great pleasure of working with Felix recently. This experience was one of a kind and I'm looking forward to our next project together! Felix is a talented architect, and a professional who is led by innovation, attention to detail and staying hands on throughout the entire project. Felix, thank you again for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
