Junction House won "Best Innovative Suite Design" at the 39th BILD Awards (2019) last night. A big congrats to the team. Below is the floor plan that won. It is a 2 bedroom suite from our two-storey House Collection (JH_2B_H1).
This design is fundamental to Junction House. It is why the project is called what it is. The goal was to create a suite that felt less like a condo, and more like a low-rise single-family home. Credit to Superkul Architects, and the rest of the team, for figuring it all out. There was a long list of requirements.
We wanted dedicated kitchen (+ island), dining, and living areas. (The living area is also wider than what you'd typically find.) We wanted a terrace with (standard) water and BBQ connections. We wanted the bedrooms upstairs for privacy/separation. We wanted both of them to have direct window exposure. And we wanted a master ensuite bathroom with a double vanity.
The House Collection includes some of my favorite suites in the building, which is why -- full disclosure -- I'm going to be moving into one of them. If you'd like more information about Junction House, reach out to Paul Johnston and his team at info@junctionhouse.ca or at 416-900-6076.
I am excited to announce that Junction House is a 2019 finalist in the 39th Annual BILD Awards. The project is up for the following 4 awards:
Best Signage (it was probably the neon that did it)
Best Suite Design (large suite)
Best Innovative Suite Design (it's a suite from our unique 2-storey House Collection)
Best Mid-Rise Building Design
This last one is a "Pinnacle" award, but I'll be honest in that I don't know what that means. It sounds impressive though.
BILD received some 850 submissions this year, so kudos to the project team: Superkül, Dialogue 38, Vanderbrand, Unique Urban Homes, DTAH, WND Associates, and others.
We spend an inordinate amount of time on our floor plans -- they are people's eventual homes. So it's nice to see a bit of that effort reflected above.
