Architectural studio PARTISAN creates the Canvas House, which is located in Forest Hill in Toronto, Canada. It boasts a square structure and has an artful design. The home features a sculptural facade that makes it stand out in the neighborhood. Additionally, the exterior is not the only captivating part of the home as it is designed to house the homeowner's modern art collection as well.
The Canvas House pushes the boundaries of traditional design as it appears to be a work of art in itself. The facade has a monochromatic brick enclosure that differentiates itself from neighboring homes. The surface reaches outwards which naturally forms an overhang over the entrance and allows natural light to come through on the second floor.
