Yorkville, Toronto

Hazelton Residence III

  • Renovation
  • Heritage
  • Owner attended

A Yorkville residence where heritage brickwork, arched voussoirs and a gabled roofline meet a contemporary rear addition in black steel and glass. Inside, quarter-sawn oak millwork runs continuously from the kitchen through the halls and stair, paired with brass fittings, stone vanities and a skylit primary bath. Herringbone floors and tall black-framed windows carry daylight deep into every room, culminating in a courtyard that ties the kitchen, dining and garden into a single sequence.

A cushioned bench is built into the millwork beside the steel framed doors, a quiet perch caught in the afternoon light.

Street level view of the brick facade behind front greenery

07  Street Level

From the street the brick facade sits behind full front greenery, black steel windows reading through the leaves.

Red brick gable with arched brick voussoirs and cream bargeboard trim

08  Red Brick

Arched brick voussoirs and hand detailed bargeboard trim give the gable its ornament, the brick warm beneath a canopy of leaves.

Built in coffee machine set into oak millwork

09  Built In

A coffee machine sits flush in the oak millwork, given the same joinery as the cabinetry around it.

Late day light and shadow falling through a doorway

10  Late Day

Late day light falls through the doorway, shadow and warm wood closing the gallery quietly.

The signature frames.
