ACLASSIC OF
THE NORTH
Italy is a country
of rich, vibrant,
embracing colors,
enveloped by people
with flair and
dignity. And so
when one envisions
and hugs the
wonders of this
land - it can easily
transcend into an
architecturally
strong passion
that becomes - A
Classic of the
North.
Norman and Elena Mascioli
We built on a rock and this particular view is of the back of our
home which terraces down to the street. Both perennials and annuals
are placed on each level and are Elena's pride.
She takes care of the planting to the pruning, with very little help.
With a preeminent eye for beauty and an intuitive
sense of color and scale - this Timmins,
Ontario, Canada 'Classic of the North'
designed by Elena and Norman Mascioli - became a master
presence with the combining of styles and periods.
Each room takes its character from the fullness of life
lived, keeping interiors light with old elegance. The sense
of design is based on the virtues found in sophistication
and modesty of purpose without any sacrifice. There are
bare walls and bare floors which mesmerize the art and
furniture amongst them. Light itself was important to the
interiors as were the rocks and stone elements hugging
The living room was designed to encompass an expanse
of open and comfortable space while embracing our
formal dining room, to the immediate right.
