A Lattice-Wrapped Wooden Core Anchors This Over 10,000 Square Foot Waterfront Penthouse in Ontario

Solarium in house with skylights, glossy tiled floor, beige sofas and a coffee table in the middle, floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the lake.

How do you make a 10,000-square-foot, multistory home feel intimate? Include plenty of warm woods, coastal color palettes, and a central hub, of course.

For architects Abe Chan and Sam Khouvongsavanh of ACDO, that was the challenge when they combined two units into one in a contemporary midrise condo on the shore of Lake Ontario.
