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.

Rear elevation in stacked black steel windows and iron balconies opening to a courtyard

01  Grounds

Stacked black steel windows and wrought iron balconies rise above glazed doors, the whole rear of the house opening onto its private courtyard.

Red brick gable with arched brick voussoirs and cream bargeboard trim

02  Red Brick

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

Kitchen with black range hood and oak cabinetry beneath tall steel windows

03  Kitchen

A blackened steel hood and range anchor the oak kitchen, tall steel windows framing the garden just beyond the counter.
