Terrace Loft at Cube Lofts in Little Italy

Sometimes, you get things right.  I see three concurrent triumphs in this space – the first being an exceptional floorplan with generous room sizes and a perfect flow culminating in an exceptional private terrace.  The second is the care and skill that was taken by the current owner to refresh and revitalize the space.  The last is, darn it, is the exceptional good taste of the owner that makes this home feel ultra-special: stylish, comfortable,

Penthouse Loft at Junction House for Sale

Working on floor plans in pre-construction is an immense amount of fun.  First, a little bit of knowledge goes a long way (just ask the structural engineers I challenge on sheer walls, columns and all that silly stuff).  Second, because it really challenges you to think about how people want to live, and how best to assemble the puzzle pieces for beauty and efficiency.  And lastly, because when you see a plan built – when

Custom Suite for Sale at 1181 in West Queen West

Penthouse at Duke in The Junction For Sale

I’ll share a little story – there was a considerable effort made to call this project “The Trilby”. When that was presented and pitched rather vigorously, I scrunched up my face which apparently conveyed (surprise) some displeasure with the direction. While the campaign continued to name a condo after some sort of hat, a clever soul (no doubt anxious about another face contortion) came up with an alternate: DUKE.  A play on Dundas and Keele.

End Townhome at Charbonnel in Summerhill

I’ve had the privilege to present quite a few townhome developments throughout the city, and have great respect for projects that “aim higher”.  Charbonnel is one such example – homes of very distinguished architecture, constructed to exacting specifications, with exceptionally livable floorplans.  The width of these homes allows for 2 car parking, and this is a rare plan where an elevator slips very elegantly into the plan.  Well designed, well executed and well received.  Well
