Urban Farmhouse
In the Urban Farmhouse, careful consideration of the architectural past was taken to re-imagine a century old farmhouse as a contemporary home re-built on the site where it stood since the 1800’s.

Situated in Toronto’s Bennington Heights neighbourhood, the property is adjacent to the scenic Beltline Trail and creek. The Owners wanted to renovate and expand the
existing 2-storey farmhouse but it was in too poor a condition to be maintained so the
decision was made to take it down and build new, keeping the same footprint and
honouring the history of the site. The new design maintained the white gable roof, but modernized the detailing: eliminating overhangs, and adding oversized windows and
contrasting black metal ‘additions’ to both the front and rear of the property.

On the interior, we also wanted to juxtapose the soaring ceilings of the gabled roof with the clean, flat ceiling finish of the ‘new’ spaces, to benefit from both modern
aesthetics and traditional forms. Inside the white gabled section are the main living
spaces including the dining room and living room. The kitchen, office, and family room
are in the black-clad ‘additions’, connected to the other spaces with visual
separation through freestanding millwork space dividers

Ascending the staircase to the second floor you are flooded with natural light from a row of four skylights in the hallway. The light bounces off the white pitched ceilings
and walls creating a bright and airy atmosphere. From the hall are pocket doors
leading to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The principal bedroom hovers over a rear deck
at the back of the house and features a window seat stretching the width of the room
to capture the views of the garden and trees

The material palette was an important tool used to evoke the farmhouse feeling. Natural oak flooring, and matching oak millwork, were used throughout to add warmth
and texture. Natural grey quartz was also used in both flat sheets as well as ribbed
to continue the subtle play of light across its surfaces. Contrast was also introduced
in the interior through black-stained oak millwork.
