Sectioned Condo Dwellings

The Elav Nest Apartment by RZLBD Features a Divided Open-Concept

— July 18, 2014 — Art & Design
The Elav Nest apartment renovation by RZLBD features a bold, open-concept design that is accented with individual sections of separated partitions. These sectioned off areas do not get in the way of the apartment's spacious square footage and provide an airy and open flow within the interior.

Clients Elaine and Avron have been married for 54 years and are parents to 5 children and 11 grandchildren. The inspiring couple seeked RZLBD's architectural expertise after their family home was the site of a devastating flood. Transforming their aged Toronto apartment was not an easy feat but the once-decaying and cramped space has been given new life.

The Elav Nest apartment transformation exposes the dwelling's clean structural elements that embody a feeling of modern minimalism, an aesthetic its inhabitants embraced in an attempt to free their life from clutter.
