Designer Nicholas Ancerl is known for creating sleek two-storey spaces, so when he was tasked with designing a home in downtown Toronto that couldn’t accommodate a double-height ceiling, he got creative. Underpinning the basement allowed him to create a sunken living space off the foyer to gain more height in the kitchen and main living areas. Wood beams, oversized pendants and tall Arabascato marble slabs emphasize the 12-foot high ceilings. An open-flame black marble fireplace is backed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling industrial-style windows in the back of the house. See how natural materials, hidden rooms and exquisite details make this narrow Toronto home feel spacious and airy.
