This House Was Designed Like Blocks Stacked On Top Of Each Other

A modern home with three stacked volumes, has a dark grey exterior.

Atelier RZLBD has recently completed a new home in Toronto, Canada, that’s been designed as a stack of three ‘blocks’.

The house, with its dark grey exterior of stucco, metal, and wood, is a playful expression of horizontal volumes, which are stacked on top of and cantilevered from each other.

The rear of the home includes a swimming pool, patio, and outdoor dining area, as well as a terraced garden with weathered steel planters.

Connecting the various levels of the house is a quadruple-height staircase with diverse light shafts around it, traveling from the skylights all the way down to the basement.
