Working with a tight budget, a narrow lot, and zoning regulations, this Toronto house comes together with a face-like design.

A minimalist two-story residence replaced a bungalow while keeping the simplicity of the original structure.

To pay homage to its namesake actress, the Lady Peel house is given a new role while living in the same skin.

A house with an interior 'totem' structure that creates a gallery within the staircase.

A condo, shaped like a slice of pie, gets a calm and serene transformation.

Designed by Reza Aliabadi of atelier rzlbd, the 6000-square-foot wood and steel Gallery House is located in the northern edge of Toronto. It's a single family home that takes its cues from institutional architecture where all of the rooms connect off of a long hallway or galleria. The space acts as the spine of the house, allowing the rooms to face in such a way that they have northern and southern exposures, along with views.
