Belzberg Architects created this contemporary home in 2012 for a family in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The home, which effortlessly balances openness with privacy, is the winner of the 2013 Ontario Association of Architects Design Excellence award. The interior layout of the house has been carefully crafted to provide an informal and inviting space with an understated sophistication. The architecture and landscape design at the front of the building have been choreographed to allow for an abundance of natural light and a feeling of airiness without sacrificing privacy. A simple, yet enduring material palette blends plaster and zinc cladding with various natural woods and stones.
