Shallmar

July 23, 2021

Studio for Architecture & Collaboration, an interdisciplinary architectural practice led by Andrew Hill and Jennifer Kudlats, designed Shallmar Residence for art collectors in Toronto.


ο»ΏIt's a renovation and extension of a house that functions as a house disguised as a gallery. The millwork is designed as sculptural and textural elements to integrate as objects within the gallery.



The main gathering space of level 1 is divided with a spine of marching totems that integrate kitchen and dining functions. The kitchen island is designed to channel a Donald Judd floor piece with precise geometrical forms resting directly on the gallery floor. A wall of millwork runs the length of the living room and is concealed by a linear texture creating a series of vertical shadow lines, inspired by the minimalism of Agnes Martin.ο»Ώ



Expansive glazed openings frame views to the lush exterior and flood the home with natural light to animate the walls. Breaks in the glazing create framed gallery walls.



A large opening from the upper level sheds light down into the entry gallery, a long wall lined with the home owners personal collection featuring important canadian artists. Judd’s influence finds itself evident in the master bedroom millwork mounted on a gallery-like wall flanked by wood on the floor and ceiling.ο»Ώ



The home oscillates between a livable space for a family of five and a unique combination of art, objects and architecture that elevate the experience of space and re-imagine the line between the precious and the practical.

1. Olea All Suite Hotel / Greece On the eastern side of Greece’s greenest island, Zakynthos, lies Olea All Suite Hotel projected by BlocK722 architects that mixed the key aspects of Mediterranean architecture with a dash of tropical modernism. It is a contemporary, peaceful retreat; a design-led sanctuary that taps into the ever-present element of water. At the center of it all, functioning as the tranquil heart of the hotel is a 4000 sq.m man-made lake with suites and hotel facilities developing naturally around it. The calming, transforming power of water flowing freely through the veins of the Olea All Suite Hotel cannot be understated. The complete absence of boundaries between the resort's suites and the communal spaces cultivates a unique sense of freedom and mindfulness resembling the deep state of relaxation one feels when floating.
