Fans of modernist architecture are rarely able to find townhomes in this city that fit their design aesthetic, but a recently completed project on Richmond Street West at Strachan Avenue will likely appeal to them.

While Toronto has become a haven for high rise modernism in the past decade, its hallmark spare lines and clean design are seldom found on low rise complexes here. The most obvious and lamentable recent example of this is Cresford's Windermere by the Lake project, where its modern tower stands as exclamation mark along the Humber Bay skyline, but which is clumsily grafted onto a fussy, faux-Victorian townhome base. There are exceptions to the historicist low rise trend though, and they include Radio City's modernist townhomes on Mutual Street, and the more recently completed Corktown Lofthouses on Gilead Place.
