n a quiet Toronto neighborhood,
surrounded by beautiful ravines
and tree lined streets — still close
to the center of the city — this
Georgian-style house has been
carefully transformed by the team
of Diego Burdi and Paul Filek,
co-founders of Burdifilek.
"The homeowners trusted us to be as
reductive as possible by removing
elements such as baseboards, moldings,
wall sconces and door handles to create
clean interiors," says the duo.
The entrance immediately reveals a
peaceful atmosphere, care of Burdifilek's
creative concept which takes a "less is
more" and pared down approach as a
way to create an "interior skin" for each
room, as Burdi explains.
Made of crisp white, black and wood, a
limited color palette of neutral tones was
used to dress the interiors of this home
owned by an empty nester couple. The
wife, a textile designer who is the creative
director of her own wall covering company,
is accustomed to working in a world that
is, in contrast with the home, very colorful
and full of patterns. Her home provides a
respite from that existence.
For the materials, the marble, textured
wallcovering, Canadian black leathered
granite, European white oak, dark
Macassar ebony finishes, bronze fixtures
and glass bring both elegance and
warmth to the spaces.
