This modern three-storey house resembles a white frosted lantern that glows at night

The house was built by high-rise architect Rudy Wallman to be his own residence.This modern three-storey house, built as his own residence by high-rise architect Rudy Wallman, resembles a white frosted lantern that glows at night. It is aesthetically pleasing, but it lacks parking, which turned off some buyers. The $2.995-million price tag, in a neighbourhood where more conventional properties with parking could be had for about $1.9-million this summer, was another challenge.

“We adjusted the price slightly from earlier, we staged the main floor of the home, we had it rephotographed, and we remarketed the property very specifically to people looking for a unique and modern home,” said agent Paul Johnston. Massive windows and patio doors allow sunlight into two entertaining areas, including one with double height ceilings and a fireplace.“The front façade of this home was a glass window wall I called the “white veil” because it has a milk glass element to it, which provided some privacy within the house. And the back of the house had another south-facing window wall,” said Mr. Johnston.

Glass also encloses the pneumatic elevator. “This was the first time I’d seen this,” said Mr. Johnston.
