Located at Cabbagetown, an historic neighborhood now growing into a busy and diverse community, Cabbagetown House was designed with careful consideration of the site’s unique characters. The exterior was formed with psychologically alluring concave facade and convex porch that stretches to the open space. The spatial composition of the house is outlined by the separation of the shop and the living space. The separation is also accentuated with appropriate materials: wood (cafe) and concrete (home). To receive maximal amount of light inside while keeping a sense of privacy, sizable windows were placed in the shop and small porthole windows and skylights were added in the living area.
