The Architecture
Audax
Toronto’s premier architecture firm is bringing its award-winning philosophy to The Bedford. Audax combines the quiet luxury of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics to reveal the permanent quality that defines timelessness.
Demonstrating true artistic sophistication, Audax has designed The Bedford with inspiration from well-loved Parisian architecture, utilizing classic building materials and architectural detail. The interior of each private residence offers spacious floorplans, enhanced by soaring ceilings. In sync with the neighbourhood’s historic character, the building achieves perfect visual harmony with its surroundings.
The Interior Design
Paolo Ferrari
Studio Paolo Ferrari, a Toronto-based multidisciplinary design house led by the internationally recognized designer, Paolo Ferrari, has created interiors that express true comfort and authentic craft. The approach is restrained yet guided by gracious hospitality and service. Thoughtful design and effortless elegance establish a vision of refinement and luxury.
The Bedford’s interiors are meticulously crafted to attain the distinction of timeless design, while recognizing the attraction of artistic flair and technological innovation on the lives of its residents.
The Landscape
Ronald Holbrook
For esteemed landscape architect Ron Holbrook, The Bedford’s corner locale presented a remarkable opportunity to create a special streetscape, incorporating lush greenery, decorative planters and a grand porte-cochère to welcome residents and guests. Private gardens framing The Bedford’s townhomes are inspired by the intimate gardens of London’s esteemed Chelsea and Holland Park districts.
An alchemy of textures and topiary extends The Bedford’s private luxury into the public domain. The exquisite landscaping creates its very own enclave, framing The Bedford as art for all to see.
