This “upside-down” four-bedroom house in Toronto’s Roncesvalles neighbourhood presents a tantalizing vision of the possibilities for laneway architecture in the hands of a skilled team. The red-brick facade gives the home a sense of place among its neighbours, as well as a big visual impact thanks to angled brickwork that creates changing shadows throughout the day. Inside, a light well conjures a spa-like atmosphere in the basement primary suite, an addition that allows the second storey to be devoted entirely to open-concept living space. Upstairs windows are carefully placed to maximize glimpses of the surrounding canopy, with a large skylight to illuminate the sculptural staircase.
