Cleveland residence is a new build single family home located in northeast Toronto. Located on a quaint street across from a school with a context of two story homes a technique emerged early on to provide a three story home that would aesthetically fuse with the two story context.
In plan the project uses simple and efficient layouts to provide the desired concept but in section a game is played that conceals the third floor massing of the project and fuses it with the second. This sectional play creates interesting sectional experiences and dynamism across room shape, height, and light quality. These sectional gestures are then concealed by a singular gable structure running from front to back.
The roof side of some of these surfaces become terraces and sloped rock gardens for a bathroom, which provides privacy while allowing for an open bathing experience in the city. The projects geometry is accentuated and referenced in two canopies that complete the material separation between the lower brick mass that contains the shared and open living spaces from the more restrained upper two floors clad in black stucco. These canopies help to provide privacy, refuge, and identity that defines the entry point and public interface of the project.
