Get a peek inside some of Toronto's most creative homes this Saturday as The Modern Home Tour Toronto makes its debut, giving residents the opportunity to explore some of the city's most architecturally interesting modern homes. Six houses are confirmed thus far, but the tour hopes to feature up to ten.
Among the included homes:
"Canada's premier garden guru" Marjorie Harris will show off her "outdoor oasis," as described by the Modern Home Tour's website. Located on Albany Avenue, the home features an indoor dining room designed to "retain the airy, outdoor quality of a deck perched inside a garden." Architecture by: PLANT Architect Inc.
Now for an "urban oasis," a lower penthouse loft located on King Street East promises to delight viewers with its open layout that "highlights the south-facing wrap-around terrace." It features industrial influences and minimalist charm. Architecture by: re:THINK Design Studio.
Additionally, there's an "exclusive peek at a brand new property in Trinity Bellwoods Townhomes, "a development of 45 modern homes in downtown west, designed by Richard Wengle with Cecconi Simone." As well, "a new home in the Pelham Park area, built in 2009 by Weiss Architecture & Urbanism Limited to replace an old Vatican-style home destroyed by a four-alarm fire in 2008."
Tickets are $30 up until 8 p.m. on June 7 and $40 if purchased on the day of. The tour has partnered with the
Red Door Family Shelter, a non-profit organization that helps get homeless families back on their feet. "They will help staff the event and use the tour as a fundraising vehicle," a press release says.
