Portal Design Inc.

This new build downtown Toronto created different challenges than what we are normally faced with. The contemporary style of the home called for a minimalist design to match. A large wish list paired with the aesthetic of the space meant the feature pieces in this project needed to shine. Less was more in this case, top of the line materials such as concrete and sleek, single sized flagstone was used throughout the front and back to create an overall cohesive design between the landscape and the home. A concrete linear pool is anchored by the hot tub that doubles as a water feature, over flowing by spout into the deep end. Patio space at the back of the property is perfect for lounge and dining areas, covered by retractable pavilions purchased by the client. This Project was awarded a 2013 Landscape Ontario Award of Excellence

This outdoor space needed a kitchen for each pavilion - one to cook with and another for drinks and entertainment. The powder painted stainless steel outdoor cabinets feature a bar tender, sink, beverage refrigerator, pull out garbage and pull-out trays. A Dekton countertop was used for its hardiness and low maintenance.
