A dream team of designer Lorne Rose, builder Teddington houses as well as designer Silvana D’Addazio made their desire come true. On a huge great deal in leafy uptown Toronto, they produced a 4,000-square-foot home defined by its tailored symmetry as well as Georgian details. Inside, walls as well as ceilings are richly panelled, molded as well as coffered. While elegant, the house is far from precious or fussy, as the homeowners have three school-age children.

The Georgian-style new-build is restrained, save for its classically influenced portico. For the holidays, remarkable urns were full of birch as well as evergreen branches decorated with huge baubles in a rusty color pulled from the areas inside, which likewise works with the red brick exterior.
The envelope of the front hall is tailored as well as understated, however Silvana brought in pops of color with a showstopping antique rug as well as a pair of Chinese stools — their red trim makes the peaceful area come alive.
Silvana provided the living space the exact same formal bearing as the home’s exterior, creating a sofa, tub chairs, table as well as ottoman in a graceful standard style. The mix of a patterned rug as well as materials livens up the soft palette, while little cheery wreaths draw the eye to the equine sculptures.
