Heather Rd., Toronto (2025)

Set on a 30×125 ft lot in midtown Toronto, this contemporary single-family residence sits comfortably among its traditional brick neighbours. The design introduces a refined modern presence while respecting the rhythm and scale of the street — a contrast highlighted beautifully in the fall setting captured above.

The home includes 5 bedrooms and a dedicated study, along with a 55 sqm private office on the basement level featuring its own separate side entrance — ideal for professional use without disrupting family life. Large floor-to-ceiling windows define the façade, drawing abundant natural light into the interior. A double-height living space paired with a skylight above the staircase creates an airy, luminous interior environment.

Expressed through clean lines and minimal detailing, the exterior features light-toned cladding and generous glazing, capped by a modern grey standing-seam metal roof that shapes the distinctive upper level. The composition offers a contemporary interpretation of the neighbourhood’s character without replicating its material palette. An 18 sqm rooftop terrace provides a private outdoor retreat with elevated views through the trees.

At North + South Architects, we’re committed to designing modern, livable spaces that elevate everyday life — homes that feel grounded in their neighbourhoods while bringing a fresh architectural identity. 💡🏠
