Ancerl Studio have been shortlisted for Interior Design Scheme – Canada Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2020.
Designed by multidisciplinary Ancerl Studio, Forest Hill exudes contemporary elegance balanced with a modernized industrial flair. The beautiful juxtaposition of the industrial elements of the shell of the home, with the more refined finishes and furnishings that fill it boasts an unexpected sophistication. Ancerl Studio’s carefully curated finishes are seen throughout the home for a serene and harmonised interior.
The exterior facade defined by its contrasting volumes of glass, brick, and stone welcomes guests as they permeate through the home’s protective layers in a curated journey through space. Inspired by Parisian apartments and their timeless sophistication, the white marble foyer services the grand staircase and formal dining room as well as the intimate scotch lounge leading to the south kitchen and casual dining.
Featuring industrial metal accents and contemporary wall panelling, the grand staircase and upper gallery wrap around the formal dining room and its soaring double-height volume. Softly lit by the above skylight throughout the day and a shimmering crystal chandelier at night, the heart of Ancerl Studio’s Forest Hill is a feast of style dedicated to the art of entertainment. Separating the dining and living rooms, a majestic two-sided black marble and steel fireplace grounds the lower level while a lush sectional exudes comfort and relaxation.
Above, Ancerl Studio designed the master suite as a haven of tranquillity and freedom suspended within treetops. Featuring warm textures and soft tones contrasted with black metal accents, guests are invited to connect with the elements and the local surroundings. The master bathroom, designed to inspire energising mornings and relaxing evenings, is as closed or open as its users wish – free from inhibitions and unnecessary layers.
The neighbourhood displays more traditional Tudor & Georgian style homes, using brick, stone, and limestone on their facades; although a more modern aesthetic, Ancerl Studio’s design feels integrated into it’s surrounding by honouring those traditional materials seen throughout the neighbouring houses.
