Set within Toronto’s High Park neighbourhood, this renovation by Reign Architects reworks a traditional Edwardian house into a clear, open domestic environment shaped by light, movement, and material control. The project addresses a familiar condition found in many early 20th-century homes, compartmentalized layouts that restrict daylight and disconnect interior life from the garden. Here, the […] More
Karlen + Clemente position Summit House within the steep terrain of Villa General Belgrano, allowing the project to grow directly from the hillside rather than impose itself onto it.

Aaron Neubert Architects completes Slot House, a 2,400-square-foot residence positioned on a steep up-slope site in Los Angeles.

HOUSING The design begins […] More
