Diamond-Shaped Paneled Homes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Reigo and Bauer Design the Neville Park Home in Toronto

— September 1, 2024 — Art & Design
Toronto-based design studio Reigo and Bauer has finished the Neville Park home, which is a three-level house that rests on top of a narrow lot. It is defined by its diamond-shaped paneling which brings forth a subtle contrast between the decorative and minimal aesthetics of the home. It is nestled in the city's East End area with a tall profile and sharp sloped roof.

The foundering partner at the studio, Merike Bauer shares with Dezeen, "The slates provided excellent technical performance, while also representing a very traditional type of roof cladding. We're often drawn to traditional materials and methods of construction that can be realized in unconventional applications. The diamond shape, for instance, was selected for its decorative nature, yet installed as it is, uniformly over the roof and walls, even the garage door is more minimalist in its first reading. I love the quiet tension of that contrast."
