Yongehurst Rd, Richmond Hill, Ontario (2025)

A contemporary multi-family residence designed on a 50×177 ft lot, containing four triplex units — two on the north side and two on the south — each thoughtfully organized across three levels to maximize livable space.

The four units include:

🏡 Unit 1: 155 sqm triplex (North)

🏠 Unit 2: 175 sqm triplex (North)

🏘 Unit 3: 155 sqm triplex (South)

🏢 Unit 4: 175 sqm triplex (South)

The architecture embraces a modern, minimal aesthetic, combining white concrete with warm wooden louvers that soften the façade and enhance privacy. All entrances are accessed through two large garden pits at the front and rear, creating light-filled, semi-sunken entry courts.

A bold Voronoi-patterned side elevation introduces a sculptural identity, generating unique geometries that shape the window forms. Six free-form skylights bring natural light to the third-level closets and washrooms.

This approach brings an ultra-modern character to a street otherwise defined by repetitive semi-detached brick homes — offering a fresh architectural expression for Toronto’s suburban fabric.

At North + South Architects, we’re committed to designing modern, livable spaces that challenge convention while elevating everyday living. 💡🏠
