The new Junction House<\/a> development has been designed by acclaimed Canadian architects superk\u00fcl, along with interior design firm Dialogue 38. The innovative building is Slate\u2019s first residential project, and further evidence of its commitment to leading design and city building in Canada.<\/p>\n \u201cWe invest in designers because we believe in design innovation,\u201d says Brandon Donnelly, VP of Development for Slate Asset Management. \u201cFor us, good design moves beyond aesthetics and actually solves problems and creates value for people. We want to empower each of our collaborators to come up with bold ideas, as well as think beyond our individual projects and consider the broader community.”<\/p>\n Located at 2720 Dundas St W, the development was designed to be a new gateway into the vibrant Junction neighbourhood. The design is intended to define a new Canadian brand of minimalism, while still reflecting the historic material palette and creative energy of the Junction community.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of our inspirations was picking up on Scandinavian and Japanese approaches to minimalism, but through the lens of the Junction. What would that look like? How could we make sure our homegrown brand of minimalism is seen as approachable and in keeping with the neighbourhood?\u201d says Donnelly. \u201cWe also really wanted to look at multi-storey suites \u2013 which eventually became The House Collection \u2014 and explore how we could replicate the single-family experience in a boutique mid-rise format,\u201d he adds, citing the influx of families into the Junction and the need for new residential options in the city more broadly.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/1.jpeg\")
