Project Number 21-04
The project at 42 Evan Street, Parkdale, is a thoughtfully designed duplex comprising two independent family homes. Strategically positioned on a corner plot, each residence enjoys privacy and unique access one facing the main street and the other a side street. The exterior design complements the neighbourhood with its clean lines, modern materials, and striking gable rooflines. Vertical and horizontal cladding adds visual interest, while balconies and landscaped courtyards enhance the connection to the outdoors. The project’s orientation maximizes natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

Architectural Intent
This contemporary residence blends industrial and modern design elements, featuring a striking combination of raw materials and clean geometric forms. The façade incorporates exposed red brick, smooth concrete, and black metal cladding, creating a bold contrast that highlights the building’s layered composition. Large windows and an open upper-level terrace establish a strong indoor-outdoor connection, enhancing natural light and spatial openness. The gabled roof form, clad in dark metal, adds a distinctive architectural character while referencing traditional pitched-roof homes in a modernized manner. This design balances warmth, texture, and minimalism, offering a refined yet inviting aesthetic.
Interior Design
The main interior features are the exposed roof over the living area and the fire place in front of the brick wall.
