regionalArchitects designed the interior of this new penthouse, located in Toronto, Canada. This interior architecture project transforms a compact condominium unit at the center of Toronto’s business district into a permanent residence for film producer and urbanite, Niv Fichman. The project is defined by a meandering promenade lined with matte-finished walnut. The bent corridor continuously reorients visitors and directs them towards carefully composed views of interior and exterior spaces. On display along the promenade is Niv Fichman’s collection of Asian art and religious sculptures, all carefully curated in softly lit niches, alcoves, and grottos scaled for specific artworks. In the end, the millwork takes on a starring and supporting role. Its transformative nature allows it to be practical in application and delightful in every sense. It is a testament to the power of the iterative design process: over time, it has evolved into an architecture that is both complex and completely refined.
