baukultur/ca develops two light-filled modern homes on an infill lot in downtown Toronto, designed to exceed NetZero Ready standards and support sustainable and healthy living.
Toronto-based design and development company baukultur/ca recently completed the construction of two new build contemporary, highly sustainable homes. Strictly modern in its design, the building complements the existing neighbourhood, yet provides two-family homes on an infill lot and footprint which would be conventionally occupied by a sole single-family house.
The building, with two 4-level residences, is heading the way amongst the few but increasing number of houses in Toronto designed to minimize the carbon footprint. Its specific use of mater... Más

DURA - Design: electro-coloured
Brilliantly vibrant colors or aesthetic matte hues thanks to the electro-coloring of HFX stainless. ROOFINOX DURA lends your house a spectacular appearance - like no other.
The coloring is achieved through an electrochemical process resulting in a re-inforced transparent self-healing passive layer. This protective layer is molecularly tied to the HFX stainless and remains elastic. No dyes or pigments are applied to the surface, thus preserving the distinctive structure of the ROOFINOX HFX stainless steel. The different thicknesses of the passive layer, the light spectrum and the viewing angle result in extraordinary color effects of ROOFINOX DURA. Make your home special.
HFX stainless is resistant to corrosion, weathering... Más

TIN (terne) - Design: matte tin-plated
ROOFINOX TIN weathers to a natural matte patina in an incomparably beautiful gray tone.
The popular traditional metal for optically appealing and very long-lasting roofs is also frequently used to restore historic roofs. For beauty and great durability. This is why it is therefore perfectly suited for modern roofs – for exactly the same reasons!
ROOFINOX TIN metal roofs go well with wooden facades because both weather to natural gray tones, producing an organic, aesthetic look.
The weathering process takes around 2 to 3 years. ROOFINOX TIN is usually only used on roofs because a number of builders don’t want a naturally unequally patination, on the facade – this would be impossible to influence. Más

PLUS - Design: ribbed
The characteristic stainless steel with a robust and hard-wearing nature
ROOFINOX PLUS is a ribbed surface through a positiv / negativ embossment. Seen from close up, the decorative ribbed embossing becomes very clear, but it is precisely this relief-like structure that is responsible for the very smooth effect of the roof when viewed from afar. The embossing ensures a highly rigid material.
The result is greatly reduced visibility of waves or dents. And although storms and gales don’t stand a chance against a Roofinox surface, ROOFINOX PLUS matte is even more resistant to visible hail dents. A further positive feature of ROOFINOX PLUS is that even thinner sheets can be used. This results in a price advantage that ma... Más

CLASSIC - Design: brush-rolled
Beautifully matt surface structure achieved by brush rolling the stainless steel. ROOFINOX CLASSIC reveals an almost textile touch – beautiful to look at and to touch.
The power of nature is within hands reach – the simple look makes for timeless elegance and endless combinations.
We have been experiencing a growing trend over the past few years towards matt and dull surfaces in architecture and product design.
We have accommodated this trend by developing the ROOFINOX CLASSIC surface. This surface achieves a special light distribution leading to an exquisite matt finish, i.e. a very low degree of reflection.
This has been achieved by cold brush rolling of the HFX stainless, which should not be confused with bru... Más

The brief required a large contemporary family house that would take advantage of the lovely views over the fields and the Solent beyond.
The site lies within an Area of Special Character that is made up of predominantly traditional pitched roof houses, so the design of the new house had to mediate between the clients desire for a contemporary house and the planners requirements for a pitched roof form. The design also had to appear modest from the front to respect the 2 storey properties either side.
The resultant form is a house that appears as 2 storeys from the front, but whose roof rises up to 3 storeys at the rear to give expansive open views across the fields. The pitched roof and large chimney to the side echo the character... Más
