Contemporary Tudor Revival

The Contemporary Tudor Revival project is a home that Jesse has been working on for a client with a prestigious lot in Etobicoke for several months. Jesse’s only intention with his home was to bring a sense of timeless charm to the neighbourhood that walks a fine like between the historic proportions and origins of this ages old style, and his well known contemporary flare. Oddly enough, this is Jesse’s second project in this node of Etobicoke. In his usual fashion, there is no one single feature that you would point out as being “contemporary”, instead it is a range of minor refinements to details that are impactful as a whole. The result is a quaint and luxurious home that will characterize the Princess Anne Manor neighbourhood for years to come.

The exterior features a limestone material with a “white” hue composed mainly of large format blocks. The exterior stone design also features mid and top of wall banding details that Jesse specifically designed to have a “sleek” effect on the front facade, starkly contrasting other more traditional features. The blend of both these sleek stone details and historically accurate design details is Jesse’s way of giving a “nod” to the original design style. Some of these historically accurate details include the arched doorway, a slate roof, intimidatingly tall chimneys, and bay windows clad in trim features.
