The Gazing House is a spatial poetry; it originates from an abstract formal system, composed of two squares divided by a central circulation axis, which unifies all the interior elements into one architectural entity. Accommodating the east-west orientation of the lot, the skylights illuminate the house consistently across all floors and walls through the voids and the openings. The façade, resembles a face sneaking forward with two curious eyes; its optimistic presence in the typical Torontonian neighbourhood proclaims the possibility of design which belongs to everyone and everywhere.
