The Walmer Loft by Dubbeldam Design Architects

Dubbeldam Design Architects have done designing a beautiful architecture designed in Canada. this architects have converted a space inside a historic home in Toronto, into a contemporary residential loft. Beautiful space and example of a classic modern renovation that respects the historical context of the neighborhood. This is far from unspectacular when you consider the challenges the designer must have faced to blend modern design into a heritage home AND incorporate the client’s desires. Most of the interior walls were removed and the living room ceiling was opened up to the roof rafters, creating a double-height loft space that feels much larger than its modest floor area. A mezzanine was inserted to create a private zone that can be accessed by a floating mahogany stair with a light steel railing. Small windows were enlarged to infuse the space with natural light, and a large two storey window was added to frame a view of the stables and to give the feeling of floating in the tree-tops. Built-in elements such as the fireplace and custom-designed display areas create a sense of division in the otherwise open plan, and frame curated views that allude to the owner’s artistic outlook. via
