Location: Toronto, Ontario
Firm: Dub bel dam Architecture + Design,

LeBlanc and Suzanna MacDonald
For a client who wanted to transform
his old 135-square-metre home amid a
dense urban setting into a bright, modern
space, architect Heather Dubbeldam
carved out a sense of capaciousness via
an open plan and varied ceiling heights.
The L‐shaped interior also draws the eye
out to the intimate back garden, with
millwork sporting horizontal lines of riftcut
white oak, a fireplace clad in stacked
strips of felt, and porcelain tiles laid in a
striated pattern. The result is a pleasing
optical illusion: more space, same
footprint. dubbeldam. ca
2 Moore Park residence
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Firm: Drew Mandel Architects, Toronto
Team: Drew Mandel and Jowenne Poon
with Jasmine Maggs and Rachel Tameirao
In rebuilding a family home as an infill
on a Toronto street, Drew Mandel
sought to harmonize the structure with
its surroundings, and make it a warm,
light-filled haven for the owners. A
board-formed concrete wall frames the
backyard, capping views out through
the expansive southern glazing, while
transparent interior walls usher natural
light into all corners of the three-storey
space. Among the boldest moves: a
built-in fireplace that spans a wall, and
floors finished half in oak and half in
polished concrete.
