In a very densely populated pocket in the northwest of downtown there's an unattractive through-street that was recently ranked the ugliest in Toronto. The first move on this project was to sever the lot into two 15' halves and designing distinct houses on each half.

NWDS: The bar is located in the Santos district, today the center of expat life, but initially a poor neighborhood with houses built from improvised materials (the original bricolage). Santos’ history seeps through the shape of cropped arches, and the haphazardly laid masonry dating back to 1904, which was revealed during the bar’s construction.
