House on the Bluffs by Taylor Smyth Architects
Located on the Scarborough Bluffs on the shoreline of Lake Ontario in Toronto, Canada, this house was built on the same foundation of the owner’s childhood home. The house, designed by Taylor Smyth Architects, features clean, modern lines that fit well within the mature landscape that closely surrounds it. Local limestone covers the recessed walls on the front of the house and is carried on throughout the inside, bringing the outside in.
The second story houses the master bedroom, which cantilevers above the dining room and passes through the back wall with a veranda. The back of the house is a wall of glass two stories tall that optimizes the view of the lake.

Thanks for sharing! This is an amazing house and I want it…or one like it. Great use of space, glass and lighting!
I just can’t get past the stripper pole in the foyer. It seems unnecessary like a wood or hidden metal beam would’ve sufficed. So, is it aesthetic?
indeed the pole stands out quite negatively. gets in the way of the foyer.
The perfect house.
