Pachter Hall/Moose Factory by Teeple Architects -- Chinatown
Pachter Hall/Moose Factory by Teeple Architects -- Chinatown

Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) June 05, 2014 -- Modern Home Tours is returning to Ontario in just two days for the second annual Toronto Modern Home Tour. The self-guided tour features six astounding modern homes, all designed by local architects. The tour acts as a live, city-wide gallery of local residential architecture, and gives the creators a unique opportunity to show their impressive work to the public. Tourgoers will also get to visit the STACKLAB showroom for refreshments and a short rest, and help benefit Art City in St. James Town.

The 2014 Toronto Modern Home Tour consists of six private, architecturally progressive and contemporary homes that exemplify modern living in and around the Toronto area. Confirmed homes include:

• Artist Charles Pachter’s home, studio, and galleries --Pachter Hall and Moose Factory-- in Toronto’s Chinatown district. The home and studio buildings were designed by Teeple Architects and built in 2005, and have won the Ontario Association of Architects Award of Excellence, a Plachta Award, and the Design Exchange Award.

• The “Driveway House,” designed by Spaces by Rohan, which is a small home in Little Portugal built entirely in a space that was previously a driveway for two cars, that now features radiant floors, interior walls of glass, roof-top cedar deck/patio, and 95% LED-based lighting inside.

• A new three-story, single-family house, designed by Weiss Architecture & Urbanism Limited and built on a typical long and narrow Victorian lot near Dovercourt Park, that presents a solid and stately front façade utilizing traditional Toronto red masonry, but impresses visitors with its surprisingly light and airy interior.

• A modern renovation and addition, by LineBox Studio, to an existing residence in Swansea originally built in the 1920’s that focuses on maintaining a balance between old and new, while adopting a green building design in sustainable matter

• One of Toronto’s “Tiny Town” mini-homes (just 566 sq. ft.), designed by LineBox Studio, that embodies a “hard loft” style with an industrial aesthetic and flexible floor plan, which creates an open and spacious feel in the home, despite the small footprint.

• The “Linear House” in the East York neighbourhood, designed by Nano Design Build Inc., that is considered to be the epitome of super-modern geometric linear design, featuring continuous, clean lines that define the space throughout, creating harmony, flow and balance.

In addition to the homes featured on the tour, attendees can visit the tour’s designated ‘rest stop’: the STACKLAB showroom, a Toronto-based multidisciplinary design and fabrication studio, led by Jeff Forrest. Complimentary refreshments will be served and tourgoers can browse some astounding examples of modern furniture.

Art City in St. James Town has joined the tour as the local non-profit partner. They will help staff the event and use the tour as a fundraising vehicle.

Participating homes on the 2014 Toronto Modern Home Tour will open their doors for viewing from 11AM – 5PM, Saturday, June 7th. All homes are located in the greater Toronto area, and all participating architecture firms are local businesses. Tickets are $30 USD in advance; $40 USD on the day of the tour, available at designated locations. Everyone is invited; kids under 12 are FREE.
