A balance was struck in creating privacy for this stately elevated corner lot, while maintaining light and views from the indoor and outdoor spaces.  The front yard is raised up from the street via integrated steps and retaining walls, providing a more generous and robust approach to the home.  The homes kitchen flows seamlessly into the backyard, opening out into a space featuring: dinning for 10 under a vine covered pergola; a central fire feature entertaining space; access to the detached garage; and concealed bike storage.  Themes include naturalized native planting, locally sourced materials, permeable paving, rainwater harvesting, custom screening, and custom erosion control techniques.

Formerly a warren of small public spaces woven through the private terraces of 8 penthouse units, this roof deck was reimagined into an open, inviting amenity space for the residents. Outdoor kitchens complete with utilities, seating alcoves, integrated spa and associated deck, lounge sundeck, and a skyline lookout were integrated into an otherwise unusual footprint. The design features fire resistant materials, porous paving, removable fence panels, shade pergolas, green roofs, integrated and retrofitted high efficiently lighting, and an automated irrigation system.

Situated on the former Taylor family estate, the water feature and surrounding areas were revitalized to function as a peaceful gathering place on the heritage listed property. The design features integration of the original overflow basins, re-purposed flagstone local to the site, integrated underwater lighting, landscape lighting, and preservation of historic apple trees. The space is now utilized by student and faculty of the Canadian Film Centre.

This picturesque estate on the shores of Lake Ontario was endangered by bluff erosion. Through ingeniously engineered solutions and extensive re-vegetation the property is anticipated to weather another 200+ years.  Scope included a temporary shoreline access road, groin construction, aquatic habitat creation, a 15m deep by 170m long caisson wall concealed under the landscape, stormwater management overflow channels, specialized slope soil installation & hydroseeding, and extensive planting of large caliper shade trees via tree spade.
