Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design focused on the kitchen and bathroom – spaces with plenty of design challenges. For the kitchen, they came up with an innovative system of cabinets that slide vertically on the wall, to give the condo occupant easier access to the upper shelves. Hidden catches lock the assembly into place at the desired height. To replace a full-sized breakfast bar, they devised a skinny bar top that could fold away, accordion-style, into the wall of the unit, freeing up precious floor space.</p> <p>For the bathroom, Ngo and Videlia came up with a plan that allows for a tub, a separate shower and a partitioned-off toilet-and-sink area within 40 square feet.</p> <p><strong>Ivy Chan </strong>and <strong>Wesley Fong</strong>, both Master&nbsp;of Architecture students, were named semi-finalists for their kitchen and bathroom designs. They won $500.</p> <p>The contest was a partnership between Toronto developers Urban Capital and Spotlight Development.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/news/2020/02/05/daniels-students-win-big-condo-design-competition">Read the Daniels story</a></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 25 Feb 2020 19:47:08 +0000 lanthierj 163028 at
