[ #inspiration #Architects ]Situated on a quiet street on the Scarborough Bluffs near Toronto, Opposite House gets its name from its unique design. Facing the street is a 146-foot dark black brick form that mostly obscures the rooms within, while a glass and white stucco expanse faces the enormous backyard and Lake Ontario beyond. Inside, the concept is continued by dark flooring set against white walls and light marble counters, and by the central nave and foyer which divide the home into four sections: one for the garage and storage, one for the guest suite, one for the owners' home offices and spare bedrooms, and one for the master bedroom, kitchen, and main living areas.

Domestic MVHR: Enhancing Indoor Air Quality and Energy Efficiency

While one might question the simplicity of opening a window, it's crucial to note that this method lacks control over the air's quality that enters the space.
Our domestic MVHR systems serve as a shield, safeguarding homes against external pollutants like dust, pollen, and cigarette smoke, while simultaneously maintaining a comfortable temperature and preventing mold growth.
