This minimalist house has been designed by Canadian-based firm GH3 Architects in Toronto, Canada. The house was built in the 1970 architecture style, converting it from large open spaces to a more cellular room design. A new fully glazed wall was installed at the rear garden side of the house, making it possible to extend the sense of outdoor space through the interior. By this means, the natural landscape of the ravine can be seen more clear from within the house as well as maintaining privacy as the kitchen window is almost 30 feet above the public road. Most surfaces were painted white and other surfaces that would incur more wear were finished with custom fabricated white corian – bathtubs, showers, kitchen and wet room walls, and counters with integral sinks were all designed and fabricated out of white corian. All floor surfaces, including the stairs are wood, stained nearly black. The contrast with the walls also serves to extend and unify the space.
