I’ve had the pleasure of watching Atelier RZLBD’s work over the years – and represented some of their superb homes.  Each displays a unique fascination with space, voids and natural light, with a calmness and symmetry of design that appeals profoundly to my personal sensibilities.  Their homes deserve a careful study of the interior program, and this property in particular offers some exceptional ‘gazes’ throughout.

Welcome to Gazing House, designed by Toronto’s Atelier RZLBD.

This brand new home provides a rare opportunity to live in a truly bespoke home that privileges openness, airiness and outstanding sight lines.

Recently completed, Gazing House provides tremendous living space, with abundant natural light throughout thanks to large glazing and carefully-placed double volume spaces that allow light to tumble through the home.  The home presents a flexible and adaptable floorpan, that responds to the needs of various family types.  The second level, for example, is perfectly suited for daily family life – with 2 full bedrooms, a shared bathroom, study area and lounge – but presents unique adaptability for possible home office use, studio space or expanded family living.  A generous sliding door between the bedrooms, for example, provides a level of adaptability not seen in many homes.

The lower level, with its own walk-out, is a perfect space for a home theatre, gym or family room, but also can easily be adapted as an inlaw suite thanks to a rough-in for a kitchen and obvious placement of a demising wall.

The third floor presents a sprawling master suite with abundant integrated storage, and a lavish master bathroom complete with freestanding tub and oversized shower.  It also includes a walk-out to a discrete and private terrace.

This home is located in a quickly revitalizing neighbourhood, and is a five minute walk to the Go station – making downtown commuting simple and quick.

Available for sale.
