Echo House Featured in Globe and Mail

Echo House Toronto Architecture

The work of Paul Raff Studio was profiled in The Globe and Mail on Friday, September 6th, 2013.  The Echo House was  the cover story of the Globe Real Estate section.

“From grumpily Modernist to contemporary cool, Paul Raff transforms a Bridle Path home with glass, warm wood and classic joinery”

“Mr. Raff has fashioned an eloquent contemporary dwelling from the bones of a grumpily modernist one, sparing the usable portions of the old structure and introducing new elements that add up to a coherent, excellent piece of architecture. I can think of only one thing it now needs to be a perfect house, and that is to be lived in.”

-John Bentley Mays, The Globe and Mail

The building’s exterior is treated as a dynamic surface to modulate light, shade, and views. The primary objective is simultaneously to open residences to breathtaking panoramic views while maximizing solar shading and privacy.
