Designed by Teeple Architects, this bold and geometric condominium development draws inspiration from modern sculpture but also evokes the Greek coastline’s iconic villages. It’s contemporary but also charming, a series of white-clad cubes that create a sort of residential hillside. The innovative design makes a statement on Dupont Street, where a spate of new residential buildings vies for attention, while also affording homes with one of the biggest luxuries of urban living: private terraces.
Just north of Downtown Toronto, the Annex is one of Toronto’s oldest neighborhoods, with an old-world feel and plenty of new-world energy. Bloor Street, which borders the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, has a decidedly youthful vibe of bookshops and bars, cafes and casual eateries. Once industrial, Dupont Street has shed its grit and transformed into a mecca for contemporary condos, art galleries, and edgy boutiques. In between, you’ll find leafy residential streets lined with historic homes.
Bianca has a total of 216 two-bedroom residences—or “suites,” as they are referred to. And the term makes sense: crafted by II BY IV DESIGN, the homes feel like something out of a luxury resort. Compared to the lobby and other amenity areas, which have a more overtly opulent feel (think: rich textures, warm metals, and merlot accents), the residences are more pared down, with the focus on the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprawling terraces. Still, while understated, the vibe is decidedly elevated, thanks to high-quality finishes, top-of-the-line appliances, and spa-like bathrooms.
The resort-like feel extends to the amenities, from the grand lobby to the state-of-the-art fitness facility and the party lounge with a private dining room. It’s the rooftop terrace that steals the show, however. Perched at the top of the residential hill, a spectacular pool with private cabanas overlooks Downtown Toronto. Lush landscaping surrounds additional seating and spaces. There’s an outdoor fireplace, private BBQs, and plenty of opportunities to soak in the views.
