Appreciates all types of design ideas. Good form & function should always work hand in hand but at times designs needs to be push through all types of boundaries. There is no standing still for design,only moving forward.

Russel Hill Road House by GH3 Architects
GH3 Architects have designed the Russel Hill Road house in Toronto, Canada.
Built in the brutalist style of architecture of the 1970’s, the house was subsequently renovated several times following a more traditional approach to house design especially by converting large open spaces to a more cellular room design. The renovation reopened the ground floor so that it became an open loft-like space from front to back (the house is about 70? long). By installing a new fully glazed wall at the rear garden side of the house, it was possible to extend the sense of the outdoor space through to the interior. This takes advantage of the house’s ravine setting by providing more opportunities to see and experience the natural landscape of the ravine from within the house and yet maintains privacy as the kitchen window is almost 30 feet above the public road.
