Ulster House
With Ulster House, Toronto firm LGA Architectural Partners set out to make a point: that you can densify the city’s historic neighbourhoods without altering their character. The building resembles a three- storey single-family home, with clay-tile cladding redolent of Toronto’s ubiquitous ruddy brickwork. But thanks to meticulous spatial planning — and the addition of a laneway suite — the architects squeezed five dwellings onto the property, all of them airy, elegant and suitable for a family. LGA needed special permission to build Ulster House, but similar multiplexes have since been legalized across the city — thanks, surely, to the example the architects set.
Team: Dean Goodman, Janna Levitt, Kara Burman, Andria Fong, Megan Cassidy, Joshua Giovinazzo
