This contemporary stacked townhouse infill maximizes density and long-term value on a 59 × 125 ft urban lot, delivering six efficient residential units within a refined, context-sensitive form. Designed as missing-middle housing, the project integrates modern living into a traditional Toronto streetscape while maintaining a strong architectural identity.
The building is organized into three unified volumes capped by continuous curved roofs, creating a rhythmic and sculptural street presence. The arched roof form softens massing, reduces perceived scale, and distinguishes the project within the surrounding fabric of historic brick homes. A restrained palette of white façade panels and dark window frames reinforces clarity, durability, and visual contrast.
Unit layouts are carefully optimized for performance and livability, offering a mix of compact one-bedroom residences at grade and larger two-bedroom homes across the upper levels. Generous glazing brings daylight deep into each unit, while subtle façade shifts articulate individual entries without fragmenting the overall composition.
The six units are efficiently planned to maximize livability and long-term value:
🏡 Units 1–3: 68 sqm (Level 1)
🏠 Units 4–6: 134 sqm (Levels 2 & 3)
Designed to support owner occupancy alongside rental income, the project balances financial efficiency with architectural quality—demonstrating how thoughtful design can elevate density, market appeal, and everyday living in Toronto’s evolving urban neighborhoods.
