In our February issueOur February issue focuses on living and working spaces for creatives.Ulster House, our cover story, is the home of LGA Architectural Partners co-founders Janna Levitt and Dean Goodmanand also a prototype for missing middle housing in Toronto. Jaliya Fonseka reports on the project, which replaces a single-family home with five units, each with their own front door and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces.Halifax firm FBM has similarly used their own building as a prototype, in this case constructing a mixed-use infill that proves the viability of mass timber in the Atlantic Provinces. T.E. Smith-Lamothe visits the mid-rise, which combines three storeys of office space with a half-dozen apartments, topped with a shared roof garden.Contributor Michael Carroll takes us even further east, reporting from Fogo Island, Newfoundland. He explores how local designer Kingman Brewsters projects are continuing the legacy of contemporary architecture launched by the Fogo Island Inn and Studios a decade ago.We also look back at Banff Centres Leighton Artist Studios, a set of eight retreats, built 40 years ago, each by a different architectwhich continue to host visual artists, writers, and composers to this day.This months editorial viewpoint considers the HouseEurope! campaign championing anti-demolition, pro-renovation policies for the EUan effort documented in a current exhibition at Montreals CCA.
