Westminster residence The high park of Toronto reinforces the traditional gabled form that populates the neighborhood, which converts it to both contemporary and boldly contemporary. designed by Bat-sisorba architectsThe architects took a conscious decision to celebrate instead of hiding the bottom of the roof. The terracotta roof with vertical pitch occurs above the volume of a dark brick, which leads to both familiar and unstable appearance.
As described by architects: “A simple project form is a composition of three deep monolithic figures, a low deep brick-clad volume, a heavy triangular stone-wheel roof, and tall rectalinier domers. The heavy roof slips on the top of the first floor, which gives the covered carports and a sideline to a unreasonable. It meets the ground as the front of the west with grounding, and the eastern dommer is unnecessarily hovering over the cantivele and carport. “
Dark stained walnuts and heavy unformed travertine strengthens the weight of space, while white oak floors and soft lime washed walls provide imperfect light. This material refers to the formal stress between stress stress oddly balanced – a heavy triangular stone roof that manifests to float above the brick base, and the domers that ground and hover together. The architects also carefully considered how these materials would be the age. Natural Petina that will develop on rough terracotta ringworm, hand-pressed brick and raw galvanized steel, coordinating with gradually spreading landscapes.
Acid-A Ced to the side yard expands to visible to the concrete courtyard, as the slope is hovering over the landscape. The acid -ching process gives a subtle texture to the concrete that holds the light differently throughout the day. A thin metal line creates an accurate range that manages the runoff of water, while visually separates the courtyard from the foundation of the building.
