Every once in a
while a rare opportunity presents itself to design a home for an individual
that is unique in his own right. This client is a painter and a true Artist,
Pietro Adamo.
This month, Pietro Adamo, is being
featured at SLATE in Vaughan City Hall.
The SLATE is a venue that showcases local talent, and they hit a home run by featuring Adamo’s
work. Pietro is a long standing client of Capoferro and he has a special part
of our history. First, as a past art professor, he was my first mentor in design
aesthetic and sensibilities, attributes that resonate in all our projects.
In 2010, we developed a concept for Pietro
for both his home and art studio. In
this case we were given a blank canvas to design and create. He
had very unique and particular needs.
This custom home contains a studio to accommodate large pieces of art
work, production and office space to manage the business and a gallery to view
pieces commissioned.
This home was designed
to work with and be a part of its natural surroundings. The intent of the
design of the structure is to be a part of the landscape, to emerge from it. In
every aspect we looked at the views and the landscape of the property. It soon became obvious to raise the main
floor, taking advantage of the spectacular landscape overlooking the
conservation area in the heart of Kleinberg. We then made a plaza of the
parking area under the main floor to create shelter and privacy using natural
elements to create an outdoor space. We also looked at the living expectations
on the residential side and created a living room that was comfortable with
beautiful views.
I have always said
that our successes are built on the successes of our clients, we would like to congratulate Pietro on his exhibition at Vaughan City Hall.
