For a project in Torontos Little Portugal, aptly titled Pink House,SHEEEP Studiosfounding director Reza Nik, interdisciplinary designer Connor Stevens, and the homeowners were given the book by the contractor,Renovations Ruth, who felt the project embodiedThe Big Orange Splot. The Pink House stands out in the crowd of row houses to complement those who occupy the space while offering inspiration to those who encounter it. Originally built in the late 1800s, the 2,000-square-foot townhouse screams with individuality through its grand transformation. Zoe Hanneman assisted with the alteration as structural engineer.The back of the house is covered in a playful assortment of triangular and scallop-shaped shingles, cascading colors of pink, green, teal, and soft ochre. The front facade is equally bold as it is brick doused in light pink with dark green and red framing on the windows and door. The front exteriors color scheme was inspired by a poster from 1950sBonjour Tristessewhich features pink and dark green. The homeowners Nick Shaw and Chris Sanchez provided it to the architects. One of the things I do for every project is to ask clients to share things theyre into (music, films, art, food etc.) to get a sense of the feelings and vibes, explained Nik.Read more about the house on aninteriormag.com.
