Giannone Petricone Associates “weaves” glass addition into 1820s Toronto house

By way of an interview with founding Principal Pina Petricone, writer Kate Mazade explores the vision behind Snider House, revealing how the project balances heritage conservation with contemporary innovation. Through Petricone’s insights, the article traces the transformation of the 1828 Regency cottage, highlighting the dialogue between its meticulously restored historic fabric and the fluid, undulating glass addition that redefines the relationship between history, landscape, and contemporary living.

“We challenged ourselves to not only restore the original architecture but also elevate it to a new contemporary standard that would allow Snider House to thrive into its next 200 years.”

“The studio, which previously spent a decade restoring The Royal Hotel in Picton, Ontario, teamed up with Jody Cash, a third-generation glass specialist, to overhaul the 540-square metre house, honouring its heritage while making it habitable for his young family.”
