Calm Throughout
Nestled in a comfortable 25-square-metre corner of an open plan, this living space by Superkül appears to continue beyond the back door. Oversized glass openings lightly separate the room from an outdoor lounge enveloped in an arrangement of native plantings by Fox Whyte Landscape Architecture. In cooler months, the focus turns inward to a custom steel plate fireplace by North American Metalcraft, precisely framed by an articulated edge and flooring strip in the same metal. The deep bronze colour distinguishes it from the otherwise cool-tone limestone wall and grey, marble-effect flooring. The sole instance of this finely patinated material throughout the entire residence, the fireplace is equipped with log storage concealed from direct view to maintain the room’s air of calm. The couple’s contemporary art collection finds a fitting home in this peaceful space, most notably a wall size painting of a felled tree by Canadian artist Sky Glabush. SUPERKUL.CA
