PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Welcome to the Spring edition of The Collection. This issue contains articles on arts and culture, design and décor, and all the real estate news, trends, and insight you’d expect from Harvey Kalles Real Estate.

The real estate market is ever-changing, and 2023 is shaping up to be a year of evolution and adaptation. As has been widely reported, the market has shifted from the fast-paced environment of 2022, to the more balanced and sustainable one we’re finding in 2023.

Sales volume through the first quarter has decreased to approximately 14,000 homes sold, with an average sales price of roughly $1,105,000, and days on market at 21 days. It is certainly a different market when you compare these stats to Q1 of 2022, when the average price was $1,310,000, sales volume

was closer to 25,000 homes sold, and the days on market was nine. However, these changes are presenting unique opportunities for buyers, sellers, and investors, allowing for a more deliberate and thoughtful approach to real estate transactions.

At Harvey Kalles, we continue to lead the way in the real estate industry. Our sales in 2022 place us in the top 1% of all Toronto brokerages in the value of all MLS homes sold. And we are proud to announce that in February, we were awarded Best Brokerage, Canada at the International Property Awards.

This past March, we participated in the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World annual conference in Las Vegas. We networked and shared valuable market intel with members from countries around the world, which further strengthens our global marketing and referral network. If you have an interest in discussing property outside our regional market, speak with a member of our sales team, and we will be happy to connect you with the right realtor.

In this issue, we have some exciting guests lined up including acclaimed landscape architect Ron Holbrook and chef Andrew Piccinin. Plus, we’re checking out the latest from the Art Gallery of Ontario and the best ways to spend Earth Day, 2023. Enjoy!

As always, I would encourage anyone reading this to reach out to me or contact a member of the Harvey Kalles sales team. We will be happy to provide clarity around what’s happening within the current real estate environment. Harvey Kalles Real Estate has been in business since 1957, and we bring a wealth of experience to fluctuating markets.

NATURE R E FINED

With Ron Holbrook

RON HOLBROOK is one of Canada’s most celebrated landscape architects. Having created award-winning gardens and landscapes for a distinguished national and international clientele, his work can be found throughout Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, Bahamas, England, Italy and the Middle East.

Ron recently sat down with The Collection to share his expert insights on the latest trends in landscape design, common challenges faced by designers, and the use of native species in outdoor spaces. From creating awe-inspiring landscapes to storm water management, Holbrook offers a thought-provoking perspective on the world of landscape architecture.

The Collection: What makes a great outdoor space?

Ron Holbrook: It starts with a great client. There’s nothing better than an enthusiastic client. And, without question, great architects make for great gardens. I've been very fortunate to have worked with some of the world's best architects, and having that opportunity challenges you. Fundamentally, a truly great garden should inspire a sense of calm and serenity...a retreat to enjoy a time out from daily life. Also central to my design philosophy, a great garden should exemplify one major defining landscape design or theme that creates a strong eye-pleasing visual year round. A great garden design should pay careful attention between the relationship of the site, soil, plant hardiness, client and designer, and a carefully thought out maintenance program.

TC: Do you have a specific design philosophy?

RH: I'm a real chameleon, I adapt to situations. So, this whole notion of one strong movement in a garden to create a visual impact is sort of my philosophy, but I love the challenge of adapting to different situations.

TC: How have homeowners changed their approach to outdoor space in the last few years?

RH: When COVID hit, things picked up immensely. Everybody was staying at home, and they had many projects on the back of their shelves waiting to happen. And then, when challenged with being at home, they decided that it was time for the pool or the outdoor entertaining area. If I had started a company dealing with outdoor heaters, I would've made a fortune. So many people followed the rules and tended to have outdoor gatherings. I got many phone calls from clients about how to take a loggia and make sure it was conducive for gathering, or to add a fire feature or overhead heaters. I’m very fortunate to be in this line of work, because I've never seen more people interested in doing great things with their outdoor spaces.

TC: What's the most innovative thing you're working on right now?

RH: We did the Tom Patterson Theatre Garden in Stratford. HPA architects designed this incredibly beautiful theatre. There was an international competition, and I was part of the team that won. This structure was built along the Avon River in Stratford, and there’s a several-acres sized garden associated with the architecture. I've built my practice primarily on private gardens, but in the last ten years, I've been getting involved in institutional and public work. This is a project that I'm particularly proud of. I'm also working in the Bahamas right now

on a few things that are quite challenging because I get to work with plant material that I don't use on a daily basis. That's always fun.

TC: With so many cranes in the city, are you doing anything interesting with condos?

RH: Empty nesters sell these massive homes with gardens and property, and move into a luxury condominium penthouses. Of course, one of the first considerations is a wonderful outdoor space. They still want a terrace with many of the amenities and features they had on the ground. So, that starts a conversation, but sometimes it's too late in the game. I’m not saying all developers, but some don't

make these considerations in advance for the things that people of means want in an outdoor space. And they find out too late in the game that it's impossible to do XYZ. And, when it's all about footprint and getting the most out of the property, the notion of a streetscape can be nil to nothing.

What's wrong with trying to make the building a little smaller, leaving space for more street presence? It doesn't matter if it's a house or a condo, a well-designed landscape is the calling card of a building and the first impression. I've collaborated with some developers and we've done amazing things with them. We've reminded them that from a marketing standpoint, you want

nassau, bahamas

umbria, italy toronto, ontario

mulmur, ontario

to convey to somebody that they're coming home to this very well-composed combination of building and landscaped street presence.

TC: What's an example?

RH: We have recently worked on The Charbonnel at 45 Oaklands which is a boutique style condo development. The developer Treasure Hill are very highly regarded and knowledgeable developers. There was no watering down of ideas; they embraced our landscape proposal in its entirety. Another project was 36 Hazelton by Alterra. They also understood the importance of investing in landscape curb appeal associated with the architecture.

TC: What are some environmental measures that you are incorporating into your work?

RH: One consideration that seems to crop up every time is dealing with stormwater management. We are experiencing far more “once in a hundred years”storms these days, and how you deal with water contained within a property is a major concern. We work closely with stormwater engineers on almost every project. Some people, of course, collect the water for irrigation…and there’s also green roofs. We're working on some incredible projects right now using sedum mats. It's a very simple installation but so effective. So many of the contemporary homes we work on have very large expanses of glass overlooking

toronto, ontario toronto, ontario

tom patterson theatre, stratford, ontario

flat roofs. It's a given that we will introduce these lovely visuals, as opposed to looking out at a pea gravel surface or a tarmac of roof membrane.

TC: What about the use of native species?

RH: I’ve had to educate myself in the last seven years on native plants. At first, I resisted. I bought a cottage eight years ago. I'd never owned one, and it's in the middle of nowhere, immersed in nature and native plants. I really developed an appreciation for them, and now I do my best to achieve a balanced blend of native and non-native plants. The problem with native plants is that my garden style tends to be sculpted and very rich in green, but so many of these native plants tend to loose their curb appeal in the winter. There’s a place and time for it. Aesthetically speaking, when dealing with a client that's about to invest X dollars, they want their property to have year-round qualities. A lot of native plants simply disappear. So, it’s a challenge, but I do the best I can.

TC: What’s the new trend you’re seeing in 2023?

DT: Pollinator gardens. I'm not saying that this type of garden is for everyone. I have several clients with large country and/or cottage properties, and they're

determined to create these spaces that attract bees, birds and butterflies. It's interesting and something I'm hearing more about than I ever have in the past. If you want to successfully invest in a pollinator garden — I'm talking the size of two tennis courts — you need to erect protective fencing to keep the deer from using the garden as a salad bar.

TC: Any final thoughts?

For most of my career, my practice has been focused primarily on creating private gardens for individual clients. The Tom Patterson Theater commission at Stratford was an exciting opportunity to collaborate and create a rather organic, public yet intimate space, to be enjoyed by thousands yearly. Curiously, I attribute my newfound, more relaxed rural lifestyle, and the garden I’ve created in Canada’s magnificent Shield landscape as the inspiration for integrating pollinators into my more classical horticultural language — despite the challenges created by foraging wildlife.

LABOUR of LOVE

A Canadian chef’s take on the Italian art of crafting fresh pasta

By Andrew Piccinin

photos by: hector vasquez

When I think of my grandmother’s home, I think of standing on a stool in her kitchen. I’d often be tasked with some prep, since as the saying goes, many hands make light work. In addition to her famed lasagna — an intensive two-day process — my nonna’s specialty was antipasto: a jarred mélange of marinated tuna and vegetables, sealed and stored for frequent family gatherings. As with so many other fixtures of Italian cooking, it was a true labour of love.

In my role as district executive chef at Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality, I oversee the culinary direction at several Toronto restaurants. Parcheggio is especially influenced by my nonna’s spirited cooking. Meaning ‘parking lot’ in Italian, the name refers to the restaurant’s location (the parking lot of Bayview Village Shopping Centre) in a tongue-in-cheek way. Our menu embraces the Italian ethos: simple ingredients, when given time, skill and attention, are transformed into something beautiful.

My food philosophy is just that: quality ingredients, executed with care, yield delicious results. I like to describe the Parcheggio experience as “fine-ish dining”. We are a warm neighbourhood spot that serves standout food without the white tablecloths.

We keep seasonality top of mind, featuring a few hearty, braised dishes in the winter, and some lighter offerings perfect for al fresco dining during spring and summer. We are best known, however, for our pasta. Everything is made fresh on-site, including my nonna’s lasagna.

When it comes to making fresh pasta, there are a few common misconceptions. First, if you’re intimidated…that’s okay! It’s very traditional to cook with dried pasta, and you can achieve amazing results with dry noodles. Just don’t reach for the boxed supermarket brand.

Instead, look for bronze die cut pasta. These are extruded through perforated bronze plates for a noodle with a coarse surface texture which helps sauce to cling. You’ll see the difference, I promise. Just follow the package directions for a perfectly al dente bite. For a real restaurant-style experience,

take your pasta out a minute early and toss with your sauce to finish cooking.

If you’re opting to make your own pasta, a common misconception is that you need fancy tools or equipment. That couldn’t be further from the truth! There are plenty of easy, equipment-free recipes. Jenn Louis’ Pasta by Hand is a great resource for handmade noodles and dumplings from across Italy.

Now let’s talk ingredients. Spend a little more for good extra virgin olive oil, quality San Marzano tomatoes packed in passata (or purée), real Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano, and fresh (not jarred) garlic, ideally from Ontario. Even deceptively simple recipes can shine with the right product.

I love Parcheggio’s ricotta gnocchi. Potato gnocchi can be finicky because a potato’s texture can vary from fluffy to sticky. Ricotta is more predictable. I get mine at Toronto’s International Cheese, and the dough comes together in around 15 minutes. You can easily make a few batches and freeze them on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, pop them in a ziplock bag for a quick dinner when you’re short on time.

Possibly the most important step to cooking pasta is making sure your water has enough salt. “Season your pasta water like the sea” is a common saying among celebrity chefs, however, I recommend seasoning your pasta water like soup or broth. Remember to use non-iodized salt like kosher or sea salt for the best result. A correctly seasoned noodle dressed with a perfectly seasoned sauce is hard to beat.

My final tip is to develop a repertoire of ‘condimenti’ or condiments and sauces. Think about dressing your pasta as you would a salad. A delicate noodle will call for a sauce like aglio e olio: simply garlic and olive oil. A more rustic noodle or dried pasta can stand up to more robust sauces like Ragù alla Bolognese or other braised meat sauces.

Since the essence of the Italian table is to come together with loved ones, I hope this recipe can do just that for your family. Buon appetito!

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE GNOCCHI (enough for 2 servings)

Drain the ricotta, place in a mixing bowl and mash with a spatula until smooth.

Mix the eggs and grated parm into the ricotta until smooth. Add a little lemon zest or fresh grated nutmeg if you like.

Add 50% of the flour to the ricotta and fold through. If needed, add some more of the flour, and mix. You might not need all the flour, depending upon on how dry/wet the ricotta is.

Turn out the dough onto a wooden cutting board, or your countertop, and lightly knead until the dough comes together. It should be smooth, and slightly elastic. The surface will be a little moist, but not tacky. Press your hand against the dough and pull it away. Your hand should come away mostly clean. Add a little more flour, if required. Be careful to not over-knead.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for 20-30 minutes. (This step is optional – if you’re short on time, you can move right to rolling).

When ready, dust a cookie sheet with a little flour. Take out your ball of dough, dust it with a little flour and press it flat to about 3cm thick. Cut the dough into 4-6 pieces, each as wide as the dough is tall, like long rectangles. Work with one piece at a time, covering the remaining pieces in plastic while you’re working.

Roll the piece of dough out into a uniform log, about as big as a hot dog. Cut the log into small pieces, about as long as the log is wide.

If desired: emboss the dough by rolling the dumplings off the tines of a fork or off a gnocchi board, putting a divot into the back of the dumpling as you do so. This step is not necessary but adds a nice texture to catch the sauce.

Place the finished dumplings onto the prepared cookie sheet and pop them into the freezer for later, or keep them ready for immediate cooking.

Frozen gnocchi can be transferred into a ziploc bag and stored for up to a month.

Cook in boiling salted water. The gnocchi will float when they’re close to being cooked. 2-3 minutes for fresh gnocchi. 4-5 minutes for frozen.

When you’re ready to start, get your big pot of salted water on the boil.

Place the skillet on medium-high heat with the butter, and start it melting.

Taste your pasta water before you start. Does it taste good? If it needs more salt, add it now. If it has too much, add a little water.

Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water with the snap peas, snow peas, and frozen peas.

Keep an eye on the butter. Once it’s frothy, add a small splash of boiling water to stop it from browning, and turn the heat down.

The gnocchi will float when they’re close to done. Test one to make sure it’s cooked through. If you squeeze it lightly, it should feel uniform in texture.

Scoop the gnocchi and the peas out of the water using a spider or slotted spoon. If you’re going to use a colander, reserve a little of the pasta water first, and pour the gnocchi and peas through the colander very gently.

Place the cooked gnocchi and peas into the pan of melted butter, and turn the heat up a little. Add a splash of pasta water to the pan at this stage.

As it comes up to a boil, the sauce should begin to emulsify and get a creamy consistency. You want it a little loose and runny at this point.

Turn the burner off and sprinkle the gnocchi liberally with grated parm, and stir it through. This will make the sauce very creamy and luscious. If it’s too thick, add another splash of reserved pasta water. If it’s too thick, simmer it down a bit.

Tear half the mint leaves and add them at this point, stirring through.

Check for seasoning and add a sprinkle of salt, if needed. You likely won’t need to add any salt, given the salt in the pasta water, and the parmigiano.

Serve in warm bowls, topped with more parmigiano and a few of the reserved mint leaves.

We Are Story: The Canada Now Photography Acquisition  brings together a collection of image-based works by 10 contemporary artists to the Art Gallery of Ontario. These artworks, recently added to the AGO Collection, engage visitors to explore the creativity and range within contemporary photography in Canada.

Curated by Marina Dumont-Gauthier (curatorial fellow) and the AGO’s Curator of Photography, Sophie Hackett, We Are Story features artworks in a variety of image-based media, ranging from camera-less prints to drone photography.

Support for the new acquisitions comes from the  Canada Now Photography Acquisition Initiative , a project conceived in the spring of 2020 by photographer Edward Burtynsky and gallerist Nicholas Metivier, in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on artists in Canada. It is supported by proceeds from the sale of Burtynsky’s 2020 photographic portfolio  Natural Order .

“From the night skies of Nunavut to the streets of Damascus, these works are evidence of photography’s capacity to transform objects, landscapes, and perspectives. These artists remind us how we are shaped by and also actively shape the worlds we inhabit,” says Hackett.

Organized as a series of artist spotlights, spread over two galleries, the works on view range widely in material and in approach — from magazine cut-outs to printed fabric, conceptual and documentary, performance document to war witness, in two and three dimensions.

A large collage by Aaron Jones (b. 1993; lives in Toronto), entitled Holding my Grandmother’s Oranges (2021), opens the exhibition. One of his most ambitious works to date, it blends images from books, magazines, and other materials, including a postcard promoting California oranges that used to hang in his late grandmother’s home. The collage reflects on the many ways in which images are a key part of “the ways we build ourselves,” as Jones stated in a 2019 interview.

Adjacent to Jones is an installation of 35 photograms, entitled Her own devices (2021), created by Laurie Kang (b. 1985, lives in Toronto). These images — made by placing objects on sensitized paper without a camera — depict various mesh bags gathered by the artist. Each bag takes on a unique form through variations in contrast, depth, sharpness, and detail, and together they reflect Kang’s ongoing interest in the body as a vessel.

Suspended from the ceiling of the Robert & Cheryl McEwen Gallery, is Where you go I follow (2020), an abstracted image printed on sheer fabric by Inuk artist asinnajaq (b.1991, lives in Tiohtia:ke/Montreal). Featuring

a close-up view of the shallow waters at the edge of James Bay, the artist reorients the scene, presenting it vertically. Visitors moving through the space cause the fabric to ripple and shift.

It was during a residency in Kamloops, British Columbia, that Gabrielle L'Hirondelle Hill (b. 1979, lives in Vancouver) braided a field of grass on a hill beside a highway to create Braided Grass (2013). Her intervention, which was filmed and photographed, powerfully blends traditional craft and contemporary performance. In shaping the rough grass into smooth plaits, a skill requiring patience and time, she acknowledges “the long relationship between our bodies and the land.”

A highly abstracted image of an eight-pack of Lucky brand beer, Lucky X Lager 8 (2012-2016) by Raymond Boisjoly (b. 1981, lives in Vancouver) is the second work by the artist to join the AGO Collection. Here, Boisjoly scans and magnifies the bottoms of the cans, transforming a three dimensional everyday object into minimalist towers. Lucky Lager, which

moved between breweries in the United States and Canada, inspired Boisjoly's research on the geographical migration of popular imagery.

From his series The Sum of All Parts comes a diptych by Jalani Morgan (born 1981, lives in Toronto). Part of Morgan’s ongoing documentation of social justice movements, these two vinyl banners depict an overhead view of a “die-in” that took place at Yonge and Dundas Square, following the killing of Eric Garner in 2014 by New York City police officers. The original photograph made the front page of the Toronto Star, giving powerful visual form to the burgeoning days of the Black Lives Matter movement in Toronto.

Louie Palu’s (b. 1968, lives in Washington D.C.) series

The Fighting Season 1 explores the human impact of war with a selection of 12 prints documenting the conflict in Afghanistan, taken between 2007–2010.

Palu offers a nuanced portrait of a contemporary conflict whose outcome remains deeply polarizing.

Viewed from a distance, Tokyo/Damascus (2012), by Iranian-born artist Sanaz Mazinani (b. 1978, lives in Toronto), resembles the ornamentation typically found in Islamic art and architecture. Closer inspection reveals that the image combines two distinct images. Sourced from the internet, one is of the Occupy Movement in Tokyo, and the other is of a Syrian flag waved during the Arab Spring demonstrations.

A striking self-portrait along with seven other photographs comprise a group of images by Inuit artist Robert Kautuk (b. 1971, lives in Kangiqtugaapik) that document his daily life in Kangiqtugaapik (Clyde River), a small community located on the east coast of Baffin Island. Mostly shot using a drone camera, Kautuk's body of work

brings together community Elders, researchers, or climate scientists engaging with the land, while highlighting the role of Indigenous artists in the fight against climate change.

Visitors confront the image of a foundering ship in Dawit L. Petros’ (b. 1972, lives in Chicago and Montreal) Act of Recovery (Part II), Nouakchott, Mauritania . Part of a larger body of work entitled The Stranger’s Notebook [2016], Petros recalled what prompted him to photograph this moment in Mauritania: “We are used to seeing shipwrecks on the shores of Europe […] But this shot seemed to invert that notion […] It wasn’t yet another displaced African body. That made it feel powerful.”

Though wide-ranging in scope, Dumont-Gauthier is quick to find common ground. “They are the product of incredible artists pushing the boundaries of how we communicate, how we live and understand our world and what stories we choose to capture, remember and share.”

By Mark Weisleder

Recently, Canada announced a new foreign buyer ban, which is creating a lot of discussion in the real estate world. Effectively, the federal government is now restricting non-Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents from buying a residential home, condominium, duplex or triplex in Canada, during the years 2023 and 2024 in most of Canada. Below are the seven key things you need to know about this new law.

1. Are there exceptions to this ban?

The main exception is if you are a foreigner, buying the home with a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident spouse, and are moving into the home on closing as your primary residence. If this applies to you, then you will not have to pay the 25% Ontario Land Speculation Tax either.

2. What about foreign students or foreigners working here under a work permit?

This is hard to qualify for. As a foreign student, you must have lived here for at least five years and filed five Canadian income tax returns to be eligible. Then you can buy one property, not to exceed $500,000. If you are here under a work permit, you must prove that you have been working at least three of the last four years under this work permit, and also filed income tax returns for three of the last four years to be eligible. In my opinion, very few will qualify for this exemption.

3. Can an Ontario Limited Company be considered a foreigner?

If a foreigner owns at least 3% of the shares of the company or has control of the company, then the company is considered foreign and cannot purchase.

4. Are there areas in Ontario still open for purchase by a foreigner?

There are areas outside of major metropolitan areas that are still open for purchase by a foreigner. There are definitions of Central Metropolitan Areas (CMA) and Census

Agglomerations (CA) that indicate where you can buy. For example, if a City has more than 50,000 people in the centre of the city, you cannot buy, which includes every city in the GTA. There are maps and tables available online to help with your own search.

For example, you will find that homes in OroMedonte and Bracebridge are still available for purchase by a non-resident. However, the foreigner will have to pay the extra 25% Ontario Land Speculation Tax at closing. This is refunded only if the foreigner becomes a Permanent Resident within four years of closing and lives in the property as their primary residence.

5. Can a foreigner buy a residential building lot in Toronto?

No. If the land is within a major CMA or CA, and is zoned residential, it cannot be purchased by a foreigner.

6. Is there a penalty if a foreigner buys a home this year?

There is a $10,000 penalty if a foreigner buys a property that is not exempted, and it includes anyone who assists the foreigner, which could include a real estate agent and a lawyer. In addition, the government can force the buyer to sell the property at a price that cannot be more than what they paid for it in the first place.

7. What about properties purchased before January 1, 2023, such as pre-construction condominiums that will close in 2023?

If the purchase agreement was signed before January 1, 2023, the foreigner will be able to complete the purchase, even if it closes in 2023 or later. However, for new projects being sold by builders this year, I have already seen clauses included by the builders' lawyers that state that if any foreigner buys a unit in their building, and they find out any time before final closing, they have the right to cancel the agreement and forfeit all deposits paid.

ELISE KALLES proven performance makes the difference!

To be a consistent multi-million-dollar producer for over 40 years demands extraordinary expertise, diligence, discretion and the fine art of negotiation.

If you have any thoughts of selling your home now, or in the near future, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in the strictest of confidence to provide you with a market evaluation of your home.

As Earth Day 2023 approaches, Toronto is gearing up for a range of exciting and eco-friendly events. Whether you are interested in exploring the great outdoors, learning about the environment, or taking part in unique experiences, Toronto has something for everyone: from family-friendly activities to events designed for couples and individuals.

Whether you're looking to make a difference in your community, learn about sustainable living, or simply have some fun, these activities are sure to make your Earth Day unforgettable.

To help you make the most of the occasion, here are our top six things to do in Toronto for Earth Day.

Join the Toronto Zoo for its annual Earth Day celebrations. On April 22nd, the Toronto Zoo is hosting a range of Earth Day events that the whole family will love. Visitors can participate in interactive experiences and meet animals that are native to Canada, including grizzly bears, cougars, and lynx. There will also be opportunities to learn about conservation efforts and how the zoo is working to protect wildlife. This event is perfect for families with young children who love animals and want to learn more about environmental conservation.

If you're looking for a hands-on way to contribute to Earth Day, the Clean Toronto Together campaign is a great choice. Taking place on April 22nd and 23rd, this citywide initiative brings together thousands of Torontonians to clean up litter and waste from parks, streets, and public spaces. Families, couples, and individuals can all get involved and make a difference in their community. It's also a great way to teach children about the importance of keeping our city clean and protecting the environment.

HIGH PARK GUIDED TOUR

First and third Saturday each month | www.highpark.org

TOUR A SUSTAINABLE BREWERY

High Park is one of Toronto's most beloved green spaces, and there's no better time to explore it than on Earth Day. Join a guided tour to learn about the park's ecology and wildlife, including the migratory birds that stop there on their way north. Each walk has a different theme, and is led by volunteer scientists, historians, and local naturalists who will help you to understand and explore High Park’s many features. Families with young children will enjoy the park's playgrounds and petting zoo, while others can take a leisurely stroll around the scenic pond. This outing is ideal for those who want to spend a relaxing day in nature and learn more about the environment.

Toronto is home to several craft breweries that are committed to sustainability and eco-friendliness. On Earth Day, take a tour of a sustainable brewery to learn about their efforts to reduce their environmental impact. One of the most popular sustainable breweries in Toronto is Steam Whistle Brewing, which is powered by green energy and recycles over 90% of its waste. The brewery also uses sustainable brewing methods and sources its ingredients from local farmers.

After three years in hibernation, WWF-Canada’s CN Tower Climb for Nature is back! On April 15th and 16th, they will be celebrating 31 years of coming together to reach remarkable heights for nature and wildlife. With climate change effects ever-increasing, and a million species worldwide at risk of extinction, the need for the climb is greater than ever. Climbing the CN Tower is a rare and exhilarating opportunity, and you can help WWF-Canada by taking 1,776 meaningful steps towards a brighter future, where nature and wildlife thrive. They event is restricted to those aged 16 and older, and can be done as individuals or in teams.

Hug a tree and give thanks to Mother Nature at the Downsview Park Earth Day festival with: live music, food and market vendors, a scavenger hunt, eco-crafts, open greenhouses, seed-ball making, nature play, a campfire and more. There are hands-on activities and opportunities to learn and connect with education staff and vendors. Plus, it’s all free! This annual event is perfect for those who want to learn more about sustainable living in a fun and engaging way.

DESIGN FOR THE SUBCONSCIOUS

BY ALEX FORESHEW

Whether you have spent most of your life dedicated to understanding the complexities of architectural world, or you find yourself standing at the precipice of your next architectural venture, there are key components that are used to shape a successful design. These principles can simultaneously act as a road map to achieve your ideal design, and also help to shape your expectations as you navigate the challenges.

One of the principles that should be kept at the forefront of your approach to design is compression and release. This is a fundamental technique woven into the framework of many impressive designs. This technique allows designers to create spaces that instill grandeur, while not compromising the intimacy of a home. This idea of maintaining warmth and comfort is an important element of designing to human scale. This personal and welcoming experience is felt in compression. It is an intimate moment, a controlled setting, and a way to preface the beauty that lies just out of one’s sight line. The release is just that…a dilation of one’s physical and visual space. It gives the homeowner the gift of experiencing a ‘moment of awe’ every time they enter the space, as well as being able to share that experience with guests.

When these design principles come together to strike the perfect chord, this deliberate use of scale is obvious enough that it impacts one’s experience; but invisible enough that the technique goes unnoticed.

It is important to consider that ‘compression and release’ is a technique best used as one moves through areas of transition into spaces of relaxation. The intimate human scale of compression is grounding and warm, and should instill feelings of being one with the space, creating a sense of belonging.

When designing to human scale, there is a much larger design consideration: proportion, which is an overarching concept that trumps many of the

minutiae that contribute to the overall design. Proportion is the main artery that runs through the interior and exterior of any design. Successful proportions are likely to go unnoticed, but an imbalance is sure to strike an optic nerve.

The visual experience of design is created through techniques that fall along a hierarchy, as a curated set of design principles that allow the designer to

put the exclamation points in the appropriate places. Elements such as scale, position, and contrast can all help shape a home that is balanced and in proportion.

When designing in Northern Ontario, the terrain dictates design focal points. Nature can provide the most significant assets and challenges to architectural design. Site visits in the initial phases of working with a new client, and reading

the complexities of the property, often uncover the unique gems within the landscape, waiting for a discerning eye to recognize their true potential.

At Foreshew Design, we take great pride in designing structures that are “light on the land.” With the intent to highlight and minimize, our work blends with the natural landscape and refrains from inserting man-made intentions.

One of my favourite design journeys was a cottage project on Georgian Bay. When I arrived on site, I noticed the land was very low-lying and rugged, almost blending into the water at its base. I focused on the design hierarchy, and ensured that it rose from one side of the structure to the other, drifting into the natural landscape at each wing. During this initial site visit, I discovered that the property’s orientation perfectly aligned with a particular island

on the Bay. It became clear that the natural gift of this landscape would be utilizing that island as the focal point of this cottage design. This was a gift that could be unwrapped by the client every time they entered or received guests into their home.

A discerning characteristic of lakefront design is that individuals often take advantage of a particular feature of the landscape. This means that the frontage is typically extended length-wise, which from a design perspective, means that all of the rooms within the home that deserve a lakefront view are bestowed one.

Although a stark contrast of climates, these features are also true for the Caribbean projects that we have enjoyed designing. Typically, the client bringing a Caribbean vision to fruition is looking to take advantage of similar natural features and focal points to that of a lakefront property in Muskoka.

We also have to create impactful design within the much more rigid framework of city limitations. Most of the time in the city, the natural landscape

doesn’t hold the same treasures as lakefront properties. Typically, these properties are rigid and two-dimensional in feeling. If nature doesn’t provide its own interest or focal points, it falls into the hands of an experienced designer to create them. The layouts of city residences are pushed to a front-to-back orientation of development, in contrast to the typically vast waterfront locations of Northern Ontario. While this can be viewed as limiting in terms of development, by breaking down facades in unique ways, architectural design can establish privacy and unique characteristics within the more robust confines of urban living.

Alex Foreshew is Principal Designer & CEO of Foreshew Design Associates based in Muskoka, Ontario. His current work transcends geographic location and spills into categories of traditional, transitional and modern/contemporary design.
