It is a modern house designed by Kohn Shnier Architects in collaboration with Blackwell Engineering and Samaryn Homes. House with a Red Wall sits in a midtown Toronto neighborhood, in a tight and difficult mid-block site.

Sitting in a tight and difficult mid-block site is challenging for the architect, including the site’s slope to create grade-level relationships between the rear and front area of the house. Subtle transitions are also designed in the house floor levels for accommodation.
