Nestled in ‘Hogg’s Hollow’, an affluent enclave set in the rustic beauty of the Don River Valley, in Toronto, this grand home is a statement in customized, sophisticated living. A mix of traditional and contemporary is envisioned, with splashes of the eclectic throughout. Warm wood paneled walls in dining, living and library lends an air of formality, while comfortable, contemporary furniture counterbalances for a relaxed environment. The family room’s vaulted ceiling offers a perfect venue for the stunning 3-tiered porcelain structured chandelier, a focal point within the room’s expanse. Luxury details are also found in the powder room where the unique metal and ‘Marron Emperador’ granite combination vanity offers an artistic flair to this smaller room. Incorporating a custom ‘serpent’ living room carpet continues the eclectic vibe and reflects the predominately masculine flavour of the home. The rich colour palette enhances the manor-like home and lends itself to a very comfortable lifestyle indeed. Completing the appealing interiors are jewel toned upholstery and playful art, all enhancing the vibrancy of the home. The owner, a bachelor for many years, desired a sophisticated, yet unique home. By listening and having a dialogue with the client, we achieved a home will be enjoyed for years to come.
What inspired the creation of Urban Manor, and how does its design reflect the history and culture of its Toronto neighbourhood?
We were inspired by the homes existing paneled walls and coffered ceilings and to transform the home into a one that suited the owner's affinity a masculine vibe. In this way, we kept the tones strong and vibrant, but also adding many contemporary forms for an overall modern look.
