Today, we take a tour of Matt’s custom 600 sq ft condo in downtown Toronto.
Matt, a high-end custom home builder, took a standard, cold grey builder-grade unit and completely redesigned it into a warm, serene retreat that feels like a boutique luxury hotel. By prioritizing the structural envelope first by replacing cold grey flooring and basic walls with rift-sawn ash, natural maple, and rich earth tones, he brought custom residential craftsmanship into a compact condo layout. To establish a true sense of peaceful getaway, Matt designed illuminated custom pivot room dividers inspired directly by the Aman Hotel in New York City, dividing his bedroom and living space without sacrificing flow or natural light. From an integrated Calcutta gold marble kitchen with touch-to-open flush cabinetry and a hidden step stool toe-kick to a pocket-door beverage station, a 1972 Mario Bellini sofa, and a Roman travertine-inspired curbless bathroom with mood lighting, this tour is an inspiring look at how to maximize 600 square feet with architectural intention.
