House of Farr, designed by Zanjani Architect, is a striking architectural project shaped by intentional volumetric composition and a refined dialogue of materials. Conceived with the goal of creating a home that feels both grounded and enduring, it stands as an unmistakably contemporary retreat that balances bold design with quiet sophistication.

As the editorial team behind Forma The Magazine, we attend our fair share of industry events. We have to confess, sometimes trade shows can feel repetitive—a sea of standard, uninspiring exposition booths. We arrived expecting more of the same, but what we experienced over the last two days at the Living Luxe Design Show 2026 proved that assumption wrong.

As the boundaries between conditioned interiors and the unfiltered exterior continue to blur, CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and Veneta Cucine have introduced a provocative response. Debuting at Eurocucina during Milan Design Week 2026, OLTRE is less a piece of furniture and more a domestic infrastructure—a system designed to "flow" through the landscape like a river.

Toronto is set once again to become the epicentre of Canadian luxury and style. From April 16 to 19, 2026, the highly anticipated Living Luxe Design Show (LLDS) returns to the Toronto Congress Centre, promising an experience that goes far beyond the traditional trade show format.

Éclos® introduces a new category of mineral surfaces with zero crystalline silica, a high proportion of recycled material, and a breakthrough layered design system enabled by Inlayr® technology. The innovation is the result of extensive research and testing, including more than 28,000 hours of R&D and over 1,500 hours of product testing by Cosentino’s Research, Development, and Product teams.

When a property owner purchased two side-by-side semi-detached, multi-unit homes on Gerrard East, the goal was simple: build two park-side laneway suites as premium rental properties. But what started as a standard property investment quickly evolved into a masterclass in neighbourhood collaboration.

Practice Before Practice, an upcoming exhibition and panel hosted at Mason Studio, showcases a radical collaboration between Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), Mason Studio, and student housing developer HOEM. This isn't your standard end-of-year student showcase—it’s a live look at a "working prototype" for the future of the industry.

The doors have closed, the booths have been carefully disassembled, and the Enercare Centre has quieted down, but the vibrant energy of the National Home Show still lingers in Toronto's design community.

Following a 14-year, $824 million comprehensive overhaul, Canada’s largest multi-modal transportation hub has officially transformed from a mere pass-through into a world-class civic destination.

Condesa is a furniture and lighting collection born from friendship, travel, and a shared design language shaped by experience. In collaboration with: Studio Benu × Golshaah

This project is an exercise in architectural restraint and environmental symbiosis, situated within a rugged, forested West Coast site. Drawing deeply from the lineage of mid-century modernism—specifically the architectural foundations of Sharpe Thompson, Berwick and Pratt and subsequent work by Michael Lightbody—the design treats the landscape not as a backdrop, but as a primary building material.

IDS Toronto 2026 welcomed tens of thousands of architects, designers, students, and enthusiasts for four days of rigorous exploration and creative exchange.

Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal, Montreal’s most iconic spiritual landmark, has unveiled a transformative new pavilion. Designed by the architecture firm Lemay, this four-storey intervention creates a seamless connection between the city, the mountain, and the basilica.

For decades, the Metropolitan Expressway (Autoroute 40) has been the backbone of Montreal’s transit, but it has also been a scar running across the island. Built in the mid-20th century, this elevated concrete ribbon divides neighbourhoods, creates noise and pollution, and occupies valuable urban space.

In the heart of downtown Toronto, a transformative infrastructure project is underway that promises to redefine how the city cares for its most vulnerable seniors. The Rekai Centre at Cherry Place is not just a new long-term care home; it is a direct response to the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The kitchen is the room where stories are shared over coffee, where guests are welcomed with a glass of wine, where remote work happens at the island, and where creativity flourishes.
