This house  is designed to make use of the views of the conservation area in Toronto, Canada.

From Taylor Smyth Archtiects:

This 7,300 square feet (680 square meters) home backs onto a spectacular conservation area in Toronto. The owners wanted a modern, open residence that capitalized on the natural views. The house appears to grow out of the site trough the use of a warm-coloured rubble stone base. Above floats light stucco planes, broken at the corners allowing natural light to wash the inside. An exterior mahogany screen provides privacy from the street for the two storey glazing. Illuminated from inside, the screen glows at night.
