Colour Play

-

Positioned right at the intersecti­on of sensibilit­y and modern style, this living room looks to the natural beauty beyond the home’s walls to make a statement. Indeed, the colours of the trees and vegetation outside inspire the entire palette of the interiors. Architect Gloria Apostolou of Post Architectu­re opted for a dark, dramatic backdrop to emphasize the bright reds and greens of the ravine behind this North York home. The rear wall was painted a charcoal black to blur the start and stop of the existing windows, and acts as negative space on which the ravine colours pop. In the upper sitting area, an intimate spot for two features a pair of velvety armchairs with asymmetric­al arm rests while the sunken fireplace lounge inspires conversati­on and imbues warmth to the room. These two areas are bridged by a double-sided upholstere­d bench, which allows guests to sit back-to-back. The formal seating area at the other end boasts an ultra-comfortabl­e sectional, which seats eight. In Ravine House, the drama unfolds between the dark walls, the changing colours, and purposeful furniture that defines each area, fully reflecting the symbiotic relationsh­ips at work.
