Bennington Residence
A modern interpretation of a traditional, more formal, pitched roof house is carefully sited to maximize indirect light and private living. Details are understated and refined.
This dramatic transformation reimagines an existing 1990s residence for a family of five, giving retained architectural elements a contemporary new identity. Set on a deep Toronto lot within a mature urban landscape, the design emphasizes natural light, privacy, and a strong connection to nature.
A slim angled entry canopy and custom aluminum screens establish a refined street presence, while a generous central skylight draws daylight deep into the heart of the home. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open the rear elevation to expansive views across the property, creating a seamless relationship between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
Anchored by a private landscaped courtyard, the property includes a carefully sited garden suite, outdoor pool, and sport court. Together, these elements create a contemporary family retreat that balances elegance, warmth, and privacy.
