This Manhattan townhouse represents an innovative approach to densification in a city challenged by housing shortages and skyrocketing prices

It's been a time of hunkering down at home – for this couple, careful crafting aspects of their David Reid Home meant achieving spaces they were happy to play and work in 

Capacious above vanity storage comes in the form of an inset wall cabinet with sliding mirror door fronts – the black wood framing matches the vanity cabinetry below

For this seamless kitchen, only an ice dispenser breaks the surface of the custom cabinetry, giving away the integrated fridge's location

Comfortable curves, underfloor heating and giant windows on the world – this sculptural tub is also a viewing hub

At the front of this home, one is greeted by mature trees, while the airplane hangar style garage door, finished with charred siding, 'disappears' when closed

Having a scullery is gold – in this wow factor-rich kitchen that means literally. The scullery splashback mosaic is called Oro (gold in Italian and Spanish)

Clean lined, with a beautiful and subtle tiled accent wall, this bathroom also features a sculptural shower and dramatic free-standing black tub

Bathroom mirrors aren't just a practical face- or body-checking utility, nor just a bringer of space and light – they are also a great decor feature 

Shade, privacy, seamless indoor-outdoor flow and colour – all with low upkeep in mind – this outdoor living project offers more than one kind of cool

Once a dark, single-level brick abode, this renovation has introduced a light, airy feel and a second level while threading sustainable sensibilities through the home

A high-ceilinged, open-plan space is complemented by a tall kitchen with a cantilevered benchtop and integrated rear workstation – a large scullery brings up the rear
