Bayview Ave., Toronto (2026) 

A contemporary townhouse infill that introduces gentle density into a traditional residential streetscape. Designed on a 120 × 125 ft lot, this six-unit project integrates modern family living within a context of historic brick homes while establishing a calm yet distinctive architectural presence along Bayview Avenue.

The development is composed of six articulated volumes unified by sloped roof forms, creating a rhythmic street elevation that echoes the scale of neighboring houses while clearly expressing its contemporary identity. The roof geometry not only defines the project’s silhouette but also opens opportunities for outdoor living at the upper levels.

Each townhouse spans three levels with approximately 205 sqm of living area, including a third-floor balcony carved into the roof volume, allowing daylight, views, and a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Large, carefully positioned windows bring natural light deep into the homes, while subtle façade shifts and material transitions articulate individual units without fragmenting the overall composition.

At grade, generous entries, landscaped setbacks, and a strong relationship to the sidewalk reinforce a pedestrian-friendly experience, ensuring the project reads as residential in scale despite its density.

At North + South Architects, we design modern, livable housing that balances architectural clarity, urban context, and long-term value—demonstrating how thoughtful infill can elevate everyday living.
