Project Overview
This North York custom home delivers bold modern architecture through a distinctive façade that uses intentional setbacks and projections to create depth, rhythm, and abundant natural light. The homeowners sought a residence that would stand apart—clean lines, open spaces, and a seamless connection between indoors and out.
Pars Royal Tower's full design-build approach proved essential here. From navigating municipal zoning requirements to coordinating the ICF foundation and oversized aluminum glazing systems, a single team managed every phase from permit to occupancy. The result is a 4,200 sq ft residence that balances architectural ambition with structural integrity and livability.
The Vision & Design Strategy
The design centres on a dynamic façade—projections and recesses that do more than create visual interest. These moves bring natural light deep into the floor plan while establishing privacy where needed. Inside, the open-concept layout flows without interruption, guided by clean architectural lines and contemporary detailing.
Large-scale windows blur the boundary between interior and exterior, a hallmark of modern residential design executed here through oversized aluminum glazing. The two-storey massing reads as bold yet refined, grounded by material choices that emphasize permanence and precision.
Challenges Solved
- Challenge: Zoning setbacks and municipal regulations restricted building envelope options → Solution: Strategic façade projections and recesses were designed to comply with setback requirements while enhancing architectural expression → Result: Full regulatory compliance without compromising the bold, modern aesthetic
Craftsmanship & Details
The build quality begins below grade. An ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) foundation provides superior structural strength, thermal performance, and long-term durability—a system Pars Royal Tower specifies across its projects for homes that perform as well as they look.
Above ground, precision framing supports the façades intentional geometry. Every projection and recess required careful coordination between structural engineering and architectural intent. The oversized aluminum glazing demanded exacting installation to achieve the thermal and aesthetic performance expected in a high-end custom home.
Interior Finishes
The interior carries forward the exteriors modern vocabulary. Open-concept living spaces reward the homeowners with uninterrupted sight lines and flexible zones for daily life and entertaining. Four bedrooms and six bathrooms accommodate family and guests generously.
Contemporary detailing runs throughout—clean transitions between materials, carefully considered lighting, and millwork that reflects the homes architectural precision. High-quality materials reinforce durability while delivering the refined aesthetic the homeowners envisioned.
Exterior Presence
The façade tells this homes story at first glance. Bold massing, articulated through projections and setbacks, creates depth and shadow that shift throughout the day. The material palette—paired with oversized aluminum glazing—grounds the design in the modern vernacular while distinguishing it within the North York streetscape.
This is architecture designed to be noticed: confident, clean, and deliberately composed.
Why This Project Represents Pars Royal Tower
Anndale demonstrates what full design-build delivery makes possible. A façade this dynamic—with its zoning-compliant projections, ICF foundation, and oversized glazing—requires seamless coordination from concept through occupancy. No handoffs, no gaps.
The homeowners received a high-performance modern residence that balances architectural elegance with structural excellence. That outcome reflects Pars Royal Tower's commitment to building homes where every decision, from foundation to finish, serves both the vision and the long-term value.
