No. 7 Dale

Toronto, ON

No. 7 Dale is an exclusive new development overlooking Toronto's Rosedale Valley. The boutique 26-unit condominium project will bring modest and refined density to one of the city's most sought-after neighbourhoods, introducing a contextually sensitive addition to the area.

Comprised of two connected buildings, the project's conjoined structures—which read as a single mass from the street—rise to a height of three storeys, while a four-storey frontage overlooks the Valley. Revealing two distinct ‘faces,’ the north façade draws inspiration from the language of the neighbourhood, characterized by stately single-family homes. The highly site-specific design embeds the project in the tree-lined street with projecting bay windows and balconies, façades framed in red brick and stone, and four large stone-clad chimney-inspired masses gracing the Dale Avenue frontage, with additional chimneys flanking the building's sides. In contrast, the south-facing units are expansive, open, and explode with glass, featuring private terraces that create a contemporary aesthetic enveloped by breathtaking views of the natural landscape.

The project blends the area's traditional brick and stone materiality with an unconventional massing, custom-tailored to the low-rise conditions of the affluent neighbourhood. The use of brick dividing walls — which reference the scale and materiality of Edwardian houses — serves to visually break up the structures, creating an architectural language that speaks to the area's older homes.

The development harmonizes architectural, landscape, and interior elements to create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Combining the spaciousness and craftsmanship of a detached home with the social amenities and sweeping views of a condominium, No. 7 Dale offers refined urban living unlike any other development in the city.
