Name: Klemens Affandy and Robert Delaney
Location: Grange Park— Toronto, Canada
Size: 1250 square feet; 2 bedroom + den
Years lived in: 4 — owned
While Klemens and Robert's 15th floor condo offers stunning views of the surrounding neighborhood and Toronto's downtown, it's their interior that really shines. This bright and spacious space embeds tranquil Eastern elements within a modern, urban envelope. In warmer months, they get frequent use out of their oversized rooftop patio and expansive container garden. But even the cold weather doesn't keep these two from maintaining their busy entertainment calendar. They just move the action inside.
Klemens and Robert moved to Canada from their previous home in China four years ago, bringing with them many cherished and beautiful Chinese antiques. They've furnished their home with warm wooden pieces, rich Turkish rugs, and lush green plants that take advantage of the condo's southern and western exposures. The walls are lined with propaganda posters and artwork collected during trips through the South Pacific.
Klemens has done a remarkable job of creating an easy and elegant flow throughout the open space living area. Both he and Robert make use of their own offices, often working from home. Each office also has cozy reading areas with great views to boot.
This home really offers the best of city living, boasting great views, style, and comfort - all in a central location.

Wow, the furniture in this tour is absolutely amazing. My favourite coincides with the owners': that mirror is incredible!
The furniture in this house is crazy amazing. Though I do like that there still an ikea sofa. Heh.
But seriously this is WOW. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
And not an Eames chair in sight!
It's nice to see a beautiful, contemporary space that doesn't rely on the usual mid-century aesthetic. I love all the mix of East and West; especially that amazing giant mirror. Great job!
What a fantastic outdoor space! Where did you get that beautiful bed??
That living room table and mirror is simply AMAZING
love it! very inspiring home. great color scheme. love the furnishings and style.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring home. I think I live in the same building and you have have provided just the right kind of inspiration I need to paint my place. I too love your furniture and stylings.
Tee Dot!
Yes, please tell us about that fabulous bed! :)
very unique home, outside space and views great, furniture to die for!
Loving the Oak effect. I brought an oak coffee table similar to this one from http://www.cambridgeoak.co.uk/
Love the blend of Canadian and Asian styles - so global, so beautiful ;)
I've been in this apartment, it is even more beautiful in person!
I've learned so much from this post. Gorgeous. The linear placements are stunning. Can you tell I love it :-).
Man the terrace views are amazing. I'd live most of the time out there. I love that red/orange console underneath the mirror. To me it brings the other pieces in that space all together.
The terrace!!!!
Delightfull home
Calm and sophisticated and comfortable. Love the beautiful plants everywhere!
I love seeing TO homes on here! Great job!
The OCAD building view is perfect - it some shots it looks like tiling on the side of your balcony. Niiiiice.
So many beautiful details ... love the kitchen and outdoor space, the wall hanging in hallway, the abacus , .... amazing furniture. I'm glad to read that you rescued an item from the trash, but sorry the former owner made you feel embarrassed about it. The posters are grwat and the garden is fantastic.
grwat = great.
The Asian furniture is WOW! Really incredibly beautiful pieces. I have a few Asian pieces in my home but nothing as spectacular as this. I LOVED that mirror! WOW!
I love to see these unique, inspiring and aesthecally beautiful spaces when they are featured. Just beautiful guys!
Thanks for all the very nice comments. The bed was custom made in Beijing. When we moved there 10 years ago, we couldn't find any bed that was not flashy. The options were either going without a bed frame, an IKEA bed or buy one of those shiny Italian inspired beds from one of the local stores. So we decided to design our own bed. The head board is from an antique market in Beijing. It used to be a room divider and it was delivered to us in a rickshaw. The giant mirror was found in somebody's backyard in Bali. We asked a local to restore it for us, added a mirror to it and it's been with us for more than 10 years
I am so glad to see the wood block piece that includes Mao. My husband and I bought three from the Hells Kitchen flee market a few years ago. He is a graphic design teacher and I teach history and the prints marry both our disciplines. They have been in storage due to my fear of being culturally insensitive but you have given me courage to hang them in our home.
My favorite is the bedroom. Its so spacious!.
By far I think this condo is the one I like best. some condos have really nice stuff but then they make the place looks cluttered. You can actually see that the owners of this condo have very good sense in not making their place looks cluttered. This is actually not that easy to achieve since it's human nature to accumulate nice things. I have seen a lot of places where the owners do have very nice taste but then they don't have much sense when it comes to the practicality of the objects they are accumulating. This apartment rocks!
finally someone mentioned the MAO poster. Personally i would never hang that up. However, good thing about being in a free country is that you can do whatever you want without hurting other people. These home-owners have absolute right to hang that in their hosue, as many as they want. BEAUTIFUL house! Really pretty. Merry Xmas to you all!
