This private residence in Toronto has the distinction of being the first building in North America to be conceived and built from the ground up using the principles of BioGeometry®. Built to the highest standards, it is a true “green” building, green in the context of being true to nature and sensitive to Earth’s demands. The application of BioGeometry® has created a habitat that promotes a frequency of optimum health and well-being for the occupants. Blending with the neighbouring houses (as required by the Building Department) and built with natural materials, this home is a beacon of health, affecting the surrounding neighbourhood. The BioGeometric principles used in the design and construction allow the house to have a positive effect on pollution and on any deleterious EMF emissions caused by high-tension wires and cellphone towers.

Resting on the lake’s edge, this 2,600 square-foot cottage was renovated to capture the beauty of its age and history. Having been in the family for decades, an abundance of memories filled the rafters and lead the design decision, transforming it into an elegant, lakeside cabin retreat. The original pier foundation was beginning to fail, which lead to the creation of a new foundation and crawl space. The original structure still needed to be preserved, so it was elevated off of the existing pier foundation. Once resting upon its new foundation, the exterior was re-clad in shingles to match the existing exterior siding and a new entry configuration was built. Spatial and programmatic issues were addressed is this renovation to provide an optimal guest and living experience. Old spaces were connected to new and updated ones to create a variety of gathering spaces. A new garage was constructed behind the existing guesthouse and shed, all of which received new siding treatments to match that of the main residence. A revitalized landscaping plan took shape between the four structures, bringing emphasis to the defined entryway and promoting group activities at the lakefront. Photographer: MTA

Designing a home that caters to the needs of the entire family is so important, as it fosters harmony, encourages bonding, and creates a welcoming sanctuary where each member, including pets, feels valued and content. Designing for families involves creating spaces that facilitate togetherness and encourage shared activities. Open floor plans that seamlessly connect living areas, dining spaces, and kitchens promote interaction among family members. A home should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but it should also be comfortable, family-friendly, and pet-friendly. This home truly reflects the people and pets who reside within it. Each space has carefully chosen artwork and furniture pieces to enhance the living experience. The indoor-outdoor flow maximizes the penetration of natural light into the home. The glazed areas not only brighten the interior but also create a sense of openness and spaciousness. The extended deck becomes an extension of the interior, providing additional areas for relaxation, entertaining guests, or engaging in various activities. Being able to easily access and enjoy outdoor spaces promotes a sense of tranquility, relaxation, and well-being. It also encourages outdoor activities, such as outdoor dining, or simply unwinding in nature, fostering a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

The design concept of the residence was conceived through a combination of site analysis, in regard to views to promote and to screen, an appreciation of the gentle curves of the site topography and the elevation change across the meadow-like landscape. The plan form of the house is based on a fragmented radial array established off a large radius whose center point is on axis with view corridor from the property. The radial walls extend past the bounds of the habitable space and both strengthen the design concept and function to screen views to the east and west towards neighboring properties.
