North Toronto heritage home reno preserves history – and builds on it with dreamy glass addition.
Author Dave LeBlanc uses the metaphor of jazz, likening Snider House’s architecture to a melody that sets the stage before peeling off into solos, curves, shifts, and material variations, then gathering itself again into something grounded and familiar.
“…It’s true: because Giannone Petricone Associates does a lot of work in the hospitality industry, they’ve become adept at architectural riffing where the eye can handle it, but getting back to the melody before end users suffer from sensory overload. And because they’ve done exquisite restoration work on heritage properties such as Picton, Ont.’s Royal Hotel (1879) and Stock TC in Toronto’s Postal Station K (1936), they’re not afraid to take on the classics as well.”
