A little bit of his. A little bit of hers. A touch of theirs thrown in for good measure. The iCouple model at iLoft was designed specifically for a young professional couple. With that in mind, the designers aimed to bridge masculine and feminine, while embracing hip urban loft living with a clean, contemporary style. “It’s professional but not stuffy,” says Anwar Mekhayech, who designed the space with Andrew Bottecchia, both of The Design Agency. “It’s kind of playful, with art and splashes of colour. Urban and playful, but professional at the same time.” The 1,010-square-foot two-storey space features a comfortable European-inspired style, with an open, airy feel and little clutter. While the design looks high-end, Mr. Bottecchia adds everything was chosen to keep it affordable — perfect for a stylish young couple on a budget. Suites at iLoft, by developer Camrost Felcorp, range in size from 720 to 1,125 sq. ft. and in price from $329,900 to $482,900. The sales office is located on the fourth floor at 185 Legion Rd. N., Etobicoke. It’s open Monday to Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. and weekends from noon to 5 p.m. For information, call 416-251-8888 or visit iloft.ca.
1. A glass top and base with chrome in between: Everything about this dining table from Casalife is reflective and “floaty,” explains Mr. Bottecchia — attributes that contribute to the suite’s lofty feel. A built-in Lazy Susan in the centre of the table is perfect for a dinner party. Swivel those canapés this way!
2. Tucked into one corner of the kitchen, the multi-functional desk is the perfect place to pay bills, do work at home or even eat your breakfast. From Ikea, it’s also affordable, but the black tempered-glass top “gives it a little bit of a bump” style-wise, Mr. Bottecchia says.
3. A pop of red’s sure to brighten your day — even if you’re stuck at home getting work done. The moulded plywood desk chair from West Elm scoops your back for comfort. “It’s a very Danish design element,” Mr. Mekhayech says.
4. It’s clear from the art (silkscreen posters of Canadian bands, purchased at Telegramme Prints) that the homeowners here love music. And maybe moose, too? The whimsical faux moose head comes from West Elm. “This is a young professional couple that’s hip and urban at the same time,” Mr. Mekhayech explains.
5. Red and orange are gender-neutral accents throughout the suite. This table from Casalife, featuring a red tempered-glass top and base, mimics the shape of the dining table, and it’s versatile. The telescopic base can move up or down.
6. “It’s like a nesting table,” Mr. Bottecchia says of the Casalife coffee table. The glass tabletops can be swung around to increase the reach and surface space during parties. Guests need somewhere to place their cocktails, after all.
