Aleph-Bau creates metal rooftop addition for slender Toronto townhouse

Jenna McKnight | 6 June 2017

Canadian studio Aleph-Bau has overhauled an urban residence in Toronto, creating a bright white facade and adding a sculptural rooftop volume wrapped in aluminium.

Called Twelve Tacoma, the home is located in the Summerhill neighbourhood in central Toronto. It is situated on a street lined with 19th-century workers' rowhouses known for their coloured brick facades and front porches.

Mindful of the project's context and working within strict zoning regulations, the team painted the townhouse white and added a rooftop extension clad in corrugated aluminium – resulting in "distinctly elegant" modifications to the traditional dwelling.
