Reflect Architecture designs the Baby Point home, which is nestled in a west-end neighborhood located in Toronto, Canada. It is a modern structure that is defined by various elements which form a precisely made home.
The exterior is minimal resting on a recent that creates an optimal vantage point that maximizes vistas on all sides to create a sense of privacy for anyone who walks by. Trevor Wallace, principal architect notes “There was this request to do something a bit sneaky and so we skewered the back corner of their house with this glass box. They mentioned that they didn’t want anyone to see what had been done until reaching that part of it, eliciting an ‘oh my God, wait, what’s that?’”
