Inspiration and innovation. Fashionable and functional. The consideration of cadence within the environment and the essence of comfort and convenience are all essential elements to creating a perfectly aligned ambiance and aesthetic that defines a complementary living experience. This is the art of designing interior space.

Every year the esteemed members of the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) gather to recognize the creativity, innovation and talent of land developers, builders, renovators, designers, and marketers within our dynamic industry. This year The OHBA Awards of Distinction marked a milestone 30^th anniversary and were held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, to honour building excellence across the province of Ontario.

Where you live inspires how you live – as much as the location makes an immense difference, even more so does the environment within the walls you call home. It is with enormous pride we announce Cielo Condos has risen above the competition to secure the top Award of Distinction for Best High or Mid-Rise Condo Suite.

Designed by the renowned architectural firm KPMB, Cielo seamlessly incorporates one of Toronto’s most significant neo-Gothic structures, the revered Bloor Street United Church (BSUC), into a sleek and stylish residential tower. This uncommon luxury effortlessly flows from outside into the building, reinventing experiential living space unlike any other. With the vision to redefine the way space comforts and inspires living, whether for the move-up buyer/investor or the downsizer, the key to every suite at Cielo is to maximize living space and functionality while never losing sight of the element of form that supports this luxury brand.

While 716 square feet is certainly not small for a condominium in the heart of a world-class city, designing a space of this size does require clear focus and an emphasis on flexibility and performance. The most impressive feature of this suite design is the way it manages to create separate zones within a limited space. There are essentially two distinct and private sleeping ‘wings,’ each with its own bathroom, plus the entertaining area in the centre. The living/kitchen/dining space perfectly accommodates everything needed for today’s modern lifestyle. Flow has been considered and optimized, positioning the kitchen on an interior wall that performs equally well as the backdrop for a dinner party or a simple weeknight dinner. An expansive balcony runs the entire width of the unit, providing abundant natural light for every room and creating a space that prioritizes peace and wellbeing.

A luxuriously large feat for a smaller, sophisticated footprint, Cielo’s suites deliver inspiring space to entertain, socialize, and relax, all while taking in extraordinary views. And with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious balcony, an inviting living space and a den, they don’t have to sacrifice anything, even in 716 square feet.

This notable win for Best High or Mid-Rise Condo Suite is yet another acknowledgement of Cielo’s extraordinary community and lifestyle – one that is truly an “uncommon luxury.”
