Dear reader, Almost nothing makes me happier than coming upon a building that doubles as high art. (Toronto has enough utilitarian boxes, thank you very much.) One needs only to recall the world-renowned debut of Will Alsop’s flying table at OCADU—and how the structure’s icon status has grown over the past two decades. Now, Caledon is knocking on the door. Curb Appeal’s top post this week is a $13.3-million architectural marvel that looks like something Le Corbusier might have drawn up had he worked for NASA. It has too many tantalizing features to list here, but my favourite is the blade-like copper roof that cantilevers above a 1,000-square-foot oak terrace overlooking acres of forest. Also in this week’s edition of Curb Appeal: a laneway suite in Harbord Village that’s also pushing design boundaries. Plus, a Lytton Park detached with a cocktail lounge.

What mansion owned by a video game designer would be complete without a turret; six fireplaces; walls covered in scales; green, purple and white marble throughout; a 14-foot-wide hot tub; an in-ground pool; a jaunty wine cellar and a half-kilometre driveway—all sitting on 100 acres of land? |

| Here’s a three-plus-one-bedroom, three-bathroom pad in Harbord Village that just sold for $2.2 million. Built in 2006, it actually predates the city’s current laneway design standards, helping it gain recognition over the ensuing years for its atypical size and design. Take the tour. |
