Prompt: Canvas House takes shape as a residence and private gallery in a quiet street of Toronto, Canada. The 485 sqm project carefully strikes a balance between domesticity and art curation, where the warmness of a home meets the lightness and contemplative qualities of the gallery. This pairing plays out across the building’s dynamic exterior brick shell, turning the residence into a literal ‘canvas’, a vessel for the client’s impressive modern art collection, while also acting as a contextual foil, enlivening and reacting to the staid and formal brickwork of the Georgian-era home within the neighborhood.
