The property is located in Moore Park on a steeply sloped ravine, offering the combination of a convenient urban location along with the tranquility of a natural setting. Situated on a dead-end street overlooking the Moore Park Ravine, 189 Hudson is the ideal setting to create a contemporary expression, which is composed of geometric volumes stepping upward from the street responding to the natural features of the property. Solid, textured brick elements provide a sense of privacy from the street and are punctuated with strategically placed glazing to allow natural light and highlight key view corridors. The interior volumes within, along with the open plan on the main level, emphasize the home’s connection to the natural environment. This is further emphasized by the transparency of the rear elevation and double-height great room providing vertical views of the mature trees. The primary bedroom and ensuite allow a private retreat on the second level reinforcing the connection to the ravine setting.
