PHAEDRUS Studio has created a home that defies all norms, and what is normally expected in a suburban neighborhood. Located near Lake Shore in Etobicoke, Toronto Ontario, the “Tesseract House” is both complex and simple at the same time.

While the inside takes on a clean and minimal design, the exterior facade lends itself to geometric shapes and angular windows — all accentuating the entire structures rectangular construction. The project was initiated to prove to the marketplace that a high level of contemporary architecture could exist at a reasonable price, and in an already established neighborhood. While different in appearance, the 2960-sq-ft home offers all the amenities, if not more, that are typically associated with suburb living, but with elegance and details brought in from PHAEDRUS Studio’s progressive approach to designing homes.
