DALE_pied-à-terre


"An interior that is nothing short of tour-de-force"
_Dierdre Kelly, The Globe and Mail
This former horse stable, from circa 1920 in the heart of Toronto’s Rosedale neighbourhood, was converted by SOMA Studio for an international businessman. The mandate from the client was to make a pied-à-terre in the city, a place to entertain and relax from his hectic business travel schedule. A house to rival the international boutique hotels the client was living in on his travels.
Andrew Fee and Linda Corbett began the design-build by first reconfiguring the entire floor plan of the existing space. Its small footprint - 500 square feet on each of three levels (one bedroom and two bathrooms), now has an airy feel due to a connecting, glass-panelled floating staircase, which hangs on a wall faced in Owen Sound limestone.
Dale has all the amenities without giving up its warmth. Natural materials like linen, wood, stone, and leather, white oak built-ins plus two wood-burning fireplaces give this residence a tactile feeling of easy style and comfort. Custom furniture is by Andrew Fee for SOMA Studio.
