Kingsmount Residence

Designed for a family that had outgrown their home, this house had to adapt to the changing needs of their children and nearby relatives over a lifetime. The narrow lot was severed from the neighbour's property, the walls extend to the minimum setbacks, and an elevator required a minor variance because its overrun exceeded the area's height limit.

The main idea is a wall that runs the full height of the house and splits it lengthwise into two halves, joined inside by a central hallway core that repeats on every level. This simplified the structure and concentrated the complex construction at the core. Behind a private exterior, four storeys hold an indoor pool, sauna, upper-level studio, integrated garage, bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces.
