Built on a double lot on one of the many ravines located in and around central Toronto, the house was designed for a private, communal family lifestyle, with a rear façade that opens up toward the ravine. Cindy Rendely Architexture have designed the Ravine Residence in Toronto, Canada. One of the most delightful aspects of the design is the feeling of being immersed in the landscape, with it’s seasonal changes, through the extensive use of glass.
Situated in North Toronto, where the streets are lined with neo-historical châteaus in beige brick and taupe stucco, the Ravine Residence contrasts with its neighbours. The house was created as a multigenerational home for grandparents, parents and three children, as well as for a caregiver and her husband. The objective was to build a house that would take advantage of its spectacular ravine setting; comfortably provide community and privacy as desired; and reflect the contemporary attitude and lifestyle of its owners.
Architectural designer Cindy Rendely has created a stepped arrangement of volumes that open forthrightly into the landscape. Openness to the ravine and awareness of the changing seasons are reinforced by the many full-height glazed walls and doors at various vantage points, which also bring light, motion and sound into the interior. ……..
