Rosemary House by Kohn Shnier architects

The project designed by Kohn Shnier architects is the design of a new home for a young family with two working parents and three children. The new house replaces an existing house on a conventional mid-town residential lot in the City of Toronto. Similar in area to the original house, the new design emphasizes fluid relationships between, and within, shared family spaces—both indoor and outdoor. Accommodating a large art collection, as well as the desire to preserve and engage a large tree in the rear yard are two important requirements. Photography by Doublespace Photography.

Wrap House by Kohn Shnier architects

Wrap House designed by Kohn Shnier architects is a wholesale re-imagination of an existing 1980’s side-split into a new single-family home for healthy, inspired multi-generational living. The scope of the project was to create a transformational living and working environment by augmenting the existing structure through a modest street-facing addition and a complete interior imagination/renovation to improve both the functional and experiential qualities of the property. The overall treatment is such that the new house remains a modest neighbor and an example of formal restraint, even as it declares itself to be distinctly contemporary. It provides an alternate approach to the neighbourhood trend of demolishing existing residences and replacing them with oversized generic houses. Photography by Doublespace Photography.
