3 Donhill Crescent, Kleinburg | Year: 2026
This custom residential project is located at 3 Donhill Crescent in Kleinburg, within a low-density neighbourhood defined by detached homes and mature tree cover. The commission involved the design of a three-bedroom, single-storey bungalow for a senior couple seeking a permanent residence that supports aging in place while maintaining a contemporary architectural identity.
Designed by Quadrant Architects Inc., the project demonstrates how disciplined planning, clear zoning, and controlled massing can produce a refined modern home that remains appropriate to its suburban context.

The plan is organized around an L-shaped configuration that defines and anchors the backyard. The primary living spaces, kitchen, dining, and living room, are aligned along the rear façade, allowing full-height glazing and sliding doors to extend daily activity toward the exterior.
The bedroom wing projects perpendicular to the main living area. This layout creates physical and acoustic separation without increasing travel distances or circulation complexity.
A front-facing home office provides a defined work environment distinct from the primary living zone.
The architectural massing emphasizes horizontality through a flat roof profile and controlled proportions. Vertical wood cladding introduces texture and warmth while contrasting with white volumes and dark-framed glazing.
Interior organization prioritizes clarity. Circulation paths are direct. Sightlines extend from the entry through to the backyard. The kitchen functions as a spatial anchor, while a feature fireplace wall defines the living area without fragmenting the open plan.
• A single-storey residence designed for long-term accessibility
