LEDBURY RESIDENCE, TORONTO
Reigo & Bauer

An elevated exterior courtyard between the main-floor living and dining rooms brings light into this 2,800-square-foot house, which replaced a 1,200-square-foot bungalow. The Ledbury residence includes a library, kitchen and family rooms on the main level, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms on the second. The courtyard acts as an exterior room, allowing uninterrupted indoor/outdoor living.

By offsetting the two staircases in the house, natural light from a second-floor skylight streams into the lower level, illuminating most areas - including an otherwise dark basement.
