ARIDO Award: Forest Estate Home
This luxury modernist home was once a mundane suburban bungalow. The clients had a strong vision of a mid-century to contemporary motif. The spacious main entry area sets the tone for the entire home as high ceilings and rooflines give the space an open, airy and uncluttered feel.

On this main level, the communal living spaces of living room, dining area and kitchen form the central element. The principal bedroom suite to one side and a separate wing housing the children’s and guest bedrooms to the other subtly ensure privacy without interrupting the flow of space, movement and light.
On the lower level, entertainment areas include a home theatre room, a guest bedroom, gym, and spa washroom with steam room, all centred around the outdoor pool, jacuzzi and cabana. An additional closed-off suite with its own kitchen and lounge area encompasses the needs of the clients’ multigenerational family.
