The Classic Balcony

Associated with the traditional architecture of grand homes and palaces, our Classic design concepts are characterized by geometric and symmetrical shapes. These designs can be structured with formal topiary, or have a relaxed formality interspersed with loose arrangements in beautiful plant containers.

Gatsby was an astonishing persona. F. Scott Fitzgerald even believed that he had dreamed the entire novel. But Gatsby took on a life of his own. Which can happen when you let yourself dream.

When Gatsby returned to his home, the first place he visited was the beautiful balcony space to breathe in the fresh air. Even the way he did it made people talk. Gatsby’s balcony was like nothing ever seen before. No one could take their eyes off of the beauty. Even a person who notices nothing could not help but notice something, and that something was beautiful.

Our Classic design concepts are created with the uncompromising spirit of Gatsby's balcony. Fitzgerald’s Gatsby could have dozens of gorgeous balconies. Imagine. Never mind. All that matters is that you have one, just one. A piece of how things were and how they can be.

Established couple from Niagara-on-the Lake recently embraced the condo lifestyle in the heart of the financial district of Toronto. Summers in Toronto demanded a balcony upgrade for frequent entertaining.

An executive with a large extended family wanted his balcony upgraded to provide a venue for frequent events for family and friends. The design program called for a flexible use space. Warm decking tones complement inside flooring, mirrors cover bare walls and ambient lighting, creating a desirably intimate mood at dusk and at night.

An older professional couple with a large family needed a balcony with ample space for family gatherings throughout the year.

In Toronto, our Creative Director transformed this small balcony for a single female executive from a barren forgotten space, into a visually exciting place that extends the feeling of space inside and out.

Beautiful wood decking designed to meet building codes for safety. Over time the colour will lighten to a silver fox grey, or can be preserved with a Cutek chestnut colour protective stain.

Our Creative Director made this cramped balcony feel expansive by placing a large mirror on the far wall, by the teak dining table. The owners say it has transformed their sense of space beyond the glass, both outside and inside.
