Nestled in the heart of Toronto's Pape Village sits a house that, at first glance, you'd never know was nominated for multiple architecture and design awards.From the outside, 125 Torrens Ave. looks like a dated off-white house that is basically a yawn in terms of curb appeal. But inside, it is a minimalist masterpiece designed by Atelier Sun. The living room. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends Scandinavian function with Japanese rustic elegance in true Japandi style.A home office. It's the kind of space that makes you want to start drinking matcha, wearing linen, and finally embracing that "quiet luxury" aesthetic TikTok keeps promising will transform your life.The main floor. The home was fully renovated from top to bottom with custom millwork that subtly carves out distinct zones while maintaining a breezy, open-concept flow.The kitchen. Hidden storage and sliding walls provide smart solutions for re...

12 h. ago 50 trees in shopping carts will parade down the streets of Toronto this weekend

This weekend, Toronto is about to get a lot greener, and a just a little more quirkier.On Saturday, July 5, dozens of trees will roll their way down to the city's waterfront as part of The Bentway's whimsical new public art installation, Moving Forest.Picture this: 50 real trees in shopping carts, being pushed across the city by volunteers, forming temporary pop-up canopies in some of Toronto's sunniest and most exposed spaces.Yes, it's exactly as it sounds. Do I have your attention?Created by Amsterdam-based NL Architects, Moving Forest is both a playful spectacle and a serious statement. The initiative supports Toronto's ambitious goal to grow its tree canopy to 40 per cent by 2050, a plan that's as much about community well-being and environmental sustainability as it is about urban design.But sparking city-wide engagement with trees? That takes a little imagination.Cue the parade.Starting from The Bentway at 250 Fort York Blvd, at 1:00 pm, the t...

13 h. ago Ontario burger chain shutting down yet another Toronto location

An Ontario burger chain that's been on quite the roller coaster recently just confirmed that one Toronto location will be closing down.The past few months have been full of ups and downs for London, Ont.-based vegan fast food chain, Odd Burger.The chain, founded in 2014, has opened a slew of new restaurants across Canada over the past year, including an inaugural location in Vancouver and Edmonton (with another on the way).With great expansion comes great difficulties, on the other hand, and locations in Toronto have, seemingly, borne no small amount of challenges.Earlier this spring, a long-awaited location on Broadview went up for lease despite never actually opening after years of developmental issues, which came just months after the company scrapped their plans for a major U.S. expansion amid political tensions.Now, the chain's Scarborough location at 4549 Kingston Rd. has been stirring up concern, as the doors of the location remain locked and the restaurant has been m...

15 h. ago Eglinton Crosstown LRT's September opening date looking less and less likely

While much headway has been made toward opening Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT in September as expected, it's starting to look like the 13.5-year-long project may be delayed even further as we get closer to the fall.The regional transit agency's move to hand the line over to the TTC two weeks ago was generally considered an indication that locals were finally on the verge of getting to ride the problem-plagued line, which was initially scheduled to launch in 2020.Prior to that big announcement, signage had already appeared along Eglinton explaining that bus stops were being "updated in preparation for" the LRT's inauguration, and TTC staff were re-deployed and re-trained along the route.Though internal budgets anticipated a summer 2025 debut, anonymous sources recently cited a September 2025 opening, though with the caveat that "an eleventh-hour problem" during ...
