Yonge + Rich - via Great Gulf
Interior designer, Diego Burdi, boasts that this development stresses the importance of striking the perfect balance between indoor and outdoor in high-rise living. With floor length windows, residents can lap up the sun from the comfort of their own units. “In some cases you’ll probably have equally as much outdoor space as indoor space here,” Burdi told the Toronto Star earlier this year. Showcasing the effects of the windows he says, “It makes the unit feel so much bigger, and it enables end-users to plan that space, make it green and make it feel as if you have your own oasis within the city.”

These two 50-storey towers will rise from the corner of Richmond Street East and Victoria Street, surrounded by trendy restaurants and bars with inviting patios, boutique shops and grocery options all within walking distance. But you don’t have to leave the building to enjoy the great outdoors. Just a short elevator ride away to the 45th floor and you’re at the serene rooftop garden, expertly designed by landscape architect DTAH. Complete with an outdoor swimming pool, barbecue area and lounge seating, Great Gulf’s design director, Dragana Maznic says that this will help strengthen the relationship between your surroundings; indoor and out.
