While many of us work on coping with challenges specific to boxy apartments — vast blank walls, lack of character, how to eke an eating area, workspace and den out of one room — David Podsiadlo and Amander Schuler, owners of Gus* Design Group sought out such a space, trading their Toronto townhouse for this 2,500 square foot cube, beautifully appointed in its squareness.

Where can we see more pics? Looked at Candadian house and home website and nada.
Yes-More pix!
would love it if the gus design group would answer a single email!
or if stylegarage didn't try to pawn off a floor model at a piddly discount when they regularly have 25% off sales.
Although the bird trend has got to be peaking by now, this is the way to do it. Very cool. I hate trends but wind up participating anyway, both consciously and, as the culture makes its way into my brains defenses, subconsciously. So, I hate the bird trend. But I like birds (and have a few in my space).
This is a story I wrote for about the bird trend for my site:

When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
Is there any info on the shelving in that top picture? I can make out that it says something about "rough-hewn lumber" for the boards, but I'm curious about what's holding the boards up.
jennifer in sf: looks like basic white metal brackets. You can see them on the right hand side of the picture.
love this! tulip anatomy as art. so creative.
anybody know anything about the wine rack? i really like it!
love that table!
Actually- does anyone know where that table is from? I assumed it was a gus design but it's not on their website. Can anyone ID it?
It's probably a custom design by Stylegarage (which is basically Gus):
