130-Years-Old Victorian Home

A 130-years-old semi-detached Victorian house in Toronto underwent a transformation to better reflect the homeowners’ style and lifestyle.

Additional living space was added to the back of the home, allowing the kitchen and dining area to open up to the backyard to connect with nature. While the front of the house maintains its traditional facade, the back now features vast glazing, a patio overlooking the backyard, and an entertaining area for family and friends with lush greenery and a garden.

The home’s overall aesthetic depicts Scandinavian and Mediterranean influences through handmade clay pendants, antique brass fixtures, and concrete. The house now displays pops of colour on a white canvas, allowing their collection of ceramics, art, and tapestries to be showcased. An interior featuring curves is a simple way to promote calmness, rhythm, and interest.

Sinks are typically known for being square or rectangular, but it is rare to see a sink with curves, adding a unique touch to the basin. Pairing the sink with a large-format backsplash and a wall-mounted faucet allows the sink’s design to stand out and keeps the countertop clear and easy to clean.
