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.












The birds!
Great collection.

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.

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):
