Snowdon House

Snowden House is located on Snowden Street in Toronto, Canada. The idea of the main façade consists of a large window inspired by Mondrian’s works framed in a shell and a hatched background. In fact, the wooden part in the main facade plays the role of a neutral background, and in the courtyard view, it becomes a foreground and appears as a strong element on the facade surface.

The many limitations of Toronto’s building regulations and the emphasis on the use of common and inexpensive materials added to the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the work, and eventually led to the use of three simple structures that combined to create a dynamic mass.
