The goal of this project is two-fold: on one hand, it is to invest a speculative infill development with architectural coherence and dignity: on the other, to work sensitively within the delicate context of Toronto's existing St. Andrews neighborhood.

This development groups three traditional style houses along a crescent created in a post-war subdivision.
A consistent vocabulary is established employing brick, stone, bays, and covered porches that allow s each individual house to vary considerably from its neighbor with regard to massing and floor plan while remaining integral to the development as a whole.

Each 4300 to 4700 square-foot house is designed specially for its location on the street, taking advantage of environmental factors and topographical variety in the site. They all have extra wide rear yards and south facing gardens.

Building footprints, set-back, and height are limited by a stringent set of guidelines, but our goal has been to produce a rich diversity within an order that has always been typical of the dynamics of city of North York's infill developments.

The assemblage is designed to appeal to a variety of homeowners seeking to accommodate a contemporary life-style in a traditional architectural environment.
