Found Design March 12, 2011 – 8:32 am
Amazing store and pieces…..Makes you wonder why in today’s world we seem to devalue more and more the beauty and integrity of an object.
“My expertise in modern design is derived from over 30 years of collecting experience, coupled with an extensive library assembled over the same period. The hundreds of reference books, trade magazines, exhibition and auction catalogues provide a basis for what is gleaned through search and acquisition and handling of thousands of objects.” – Found Design

We just started designing a modern sustainably focussed home for a client that specializes in Rammed Earth Wall technologies. Being a very unique client and home we decided to start a blog that will follow this project from start to completion. This home will be contemporary, sustainable, budget sensitive and will present very compact ways of living.
Follow us as the project evolves and feel free to ask questions.

History of “Modern” in Toronto November 26, 2010 – 11:49 am
Interesting little site that has documented some very interesting vintage, modern and contemporary Architecture in Toronto.
“Tikifish uncovers the wild and wacky remnants of mid century modern architecture hidden away in various corners of the Megacity. Even if you live here, you may be surprised!”

Walkable Neighborhoods October 19, 2010 – 2:24 pm
How Walkable is your neighborhood? Pretty interesting website that rates the walkability of your neighborhood.
”Walkable neighborhoods offer surprising benefits to the environment, our health, our finances, and our communities.
Environment: Cars are a leading cause of climate change. Your feet are zero-pollution transportation machines.
Health: The average resident of a walkable neighborhood weighs 7 pounds less than someone who lives in a sprawling neighborhood” – Walk Score website

For anyone that may be interested a couple of our projects (Mini and Butcher) have been posted on The Slow Home website including a interview with me about the Mini House.

Mini House Blog October 2, 2010 – 5:24 pm
We finally updated and finished the Mini-House blog
“While the house is definitely small – and totally not the norm – I believe there is a large number of people interested in a house like this who aren’t served by the building industry. Just as some smaller sized condos work better than larger ones because of a really good floor plan – a modern compact home can work in the same way” – Client

Rammed earth wall home August 16, 2010 – 8:30 am
We are very excited to be hired as the Architects for a new contemporary single family residence that will focus on green building technologies, its ecological footprint, off grid power and use rammed earth walls as its primary construction method. Because of the uniqueness and healthy environmental focus of this project we decided to start a blog dedicated to its design and development from concept to completion. This should be a very interesting journey and one that we hope spreads knowledge and awareness.

Interesting Modern Rugs July 11, 2010 – 7:47 pm
Found this little modern Rug store in Toronto. We used a couple of their pieces in our Infill design’s and they are something special.

What are we doing? July 3, 2010 – 7:45 am
I wish I could live in the third one from the left……..You know, the one with the red door. With a red door I could be “different” and express my “individual character”. Nothing is more depressing then seeing suburbia from the sky. At least everyone has a garage and a big back yard………that’s a good thing right? Why does the “Ottawa Urban Infill Guidelines” promote front porches to animate the street, discourage large garage doors, express the need for a dominate front door, encourage sustainable elements, require landscaped front yards, will not allow front yard parking and goes through great lengths to promote interesting concepts in housing while allowing this to be built over and over? Why can’t there be a Suburban Design Guidelines?
Interesting Modern Infill’s April 8, 2010 – 8:11 pm
When designers, developers and the city come together and explore the possibility of dense modern housing amazing possibilities arise. The result is the mecca of modern infill housing…….Amsterdam.
Simply stunning if you ask me.
PechaKucha March 4, 2010 – 5:19 pm
We are very honored to a guest presenter for the upcoming Pecha Kucha Night - Ottawa #2 20×20 night this March 31st 2010.
PechaKucha 20×20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images forward automatically and you talk along to the images.
“PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.”

PROJECT PROFILE – mini house November 4, 2009 – 2:07 pm
As are the Toronto Architect for the “Mini House” we decided to create a Blog dedicated to following one of our modern infill projects in Toronto. We will discuss everything that is involved in designing and building a custom, modern home. Through this blog we hope to educate anyone who is interested in building their own home and offer a real time account to those who are just curious about the process.

I’ve been a fan this Toronto / Montreal focussed “urban landscape” magaine for quite a while. Impassioned writing and stunning city photography.
“Public space is at the heart of democracy. It’s where people interact, teach, learn, participate, and protest. But environmental degradation, commercial self-interest, and infrastructure neglect have come to dominate our cities’ streets. Fortunately, imaginative and passionate city-dwellers worldwide — and in Toronto in particular — appreciate the endless possibilities that cities can offer. They are resisting the co-option of their communities through random acts of beauty and intellect.”
