Each month, #HarrisonDesign offices partake in a 15-minute sketch challenge focused on a significant #architectural structure. This month, we head to Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania to visit the La Ronda estate. Completed in 1929, the 17,500 sqft La Ronda estate was Addison Mizner’s final commission. The Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Gothic Revival residence had 51 rooms, including 21 bedrooms, and sat on 233 acres of grounds and gardens. In 2009, after efforts to preserve the property failed, and La Ronda was sold and demolished to make way for a new 10,000 sqft mansion. #sketchchallenge #sketchchallenge #sketching #designinspiration #architecturalsketch #architecturelovers #handdrawn #visualart #drawingarchitecture #architecturalstudy #laronda

🏡Terminology Tuesday🏡 A Juliette balcony, also known as a Juliet balcony or false balcony, is a shallow balcony or railing installed on the exterior of a building, typically on an upper floor, that does not protrude from the building's facade. It is often just large enough to accommodate doors or windows that open inward, providing the illusion of an outdoor space without the actual floor area of a traditional balcony. Juliette balconies are commonly found in urban areas where space is limited or in buildings with architectural styles that prioritize symmetry and visual interest. While they do not offer the same outdoor living space as a full balcony, they can still provide residents with the enjoyment of opening doors or windows to let in fresh air and take in views of the surrounding area. . . . . . . . . . . #robsansone #roncesvalles #HighPark #parkdale #listingagent #homebuyingtips #bloorwest #realestate #toronto #realtor #bosleyrealestate #realestate #toronto #realtortips #swansea

Owning a historic home is more than owning a piece of history. It's about having a unique architectural gem that can be restored to its former glory, offering a truly one-of-a-kind living experience. Restoring a historic home allows homeowners to bring new life into a cherished architectural masterpiece while preserving its unique character and charm. Homeowners can create a timeless living space with unmatched character and craftsmanship by restoring original features such as hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and vintage fixtures. Modernizing and updating a historic home makes a property livable in a new era. Combining restoration with renovation will create the perfect blend for your historic home. It's important to note the difference between renovating and restoring a historic home. Renovating typically involves updating or modernizing aspects of the house while preserving its original character to some extent. On the other hand, restoring a historic home consists of returning it to its original state as closely as possible, often using historical research and craftsmanship techniques to ensure authenticity. While both approaches have merits, restoring a historic home usually requires a deeper commitment to preservation and a passion for honoring the property's rich history. Is a historic home on your wish list? Let's discuss your next property. #historichome #vintagehome #preservation #historicarchitecture #restorationproject #historicproperty #realestate #burbankrealestate #losangelesrealestate #losangelesrealtor

Hyde Park is not just a neighborhood, it’s a piece of Austin's rich history. Nestled in the heart of the city, Hyde Park stands tall as one of the oldest and most desirable neighborhoods. Established in the late 19th century, Hyde Park exudes a unique character with its historic architecture and charming tree-lined streets. Home to an eclectic mix of bungalows, Victorian houses, and cottages, Hyde Park captures the essence of Austin's diverse architectural heritage. The area also has a vibrant local scene, with quirky shops, cozy cafes, and a friendly community atmosphere. These homes don’t come on the market often so when they are listed for sale, they tend to go under contract quickly! #RealEstate #atxhomes #austinrealtor #austintexas #austinrealestate #austinhomes #atx #justsold #austin #newconstruction #luxuryhomes #designerhomes #justlisted #interestrates #homebuyer #mortgagerates #refinance

Its often underestimated the level of demolition and works that are required behind the scenes and the expenditure on the things you don’t see in a renovation. When taking on older properties, it’s often a necessity to take the building back to its bare core and a vital to future proof these incredible spaces. On this incredible penthouse project, we did just that… showing the before, the rendered vision and the stunning result. #residential #developer #interiordesign #interiorarchitecture #beforeafter

BELLWOODS HOUSE - AN EVOLUTION IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT! Inspired by the industrial heritage of the neighbourhood, but with the contemporary details that define the area’s modern luxury residential homes, Bellwoods House represents an evolution in quality and design, truly belonging to the Bellwoods community, in every sense of the word. The architecture is all about authenticity, contextual and reverential to the character and history of the neighbourhood. Yet, it also represents a step forward in sophistication, attention to detail, and high design rarely seen today. At street level, the built form begins with expansive windows, arch details, rich masonry, and black metal framing. The red-hued brick façade rises to various heights across the building, breaking up the block and creating a sense of articulation where it meets the glazed façade above. Setbacks create space for expansive private balconies and terraces with breathtaking views. Call for more details: +1-416-823-9531 Email: Sunny@SunnyRealEstate.ca
