This one, set in a quiet pocket of Toronto\u2019s Beaches neighborhood, belongs firmly to the latter. Framed by mature oak trees and edged with soft layers of greenery, it carries a quality that invites both quiet reflection and social gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-two.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-two.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-two-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-two-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The design brief was general to create a garden that artfully connects the main residence to the guest house and its accompanying elevation change. What Janet Rosenberg &amp; Studio delivered extends well beyond that intent. Through a series of stepped terraces, they not only link the two buildings\u2014they shape a sequence of experiences. As the garden descends, its character gradually shifts, moving from the more formal areas near the house to quieter, more intimate spaces nestled within the plantings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-three.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-three.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-three-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-three-1024x561.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-three-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>At dusk, the garden\u2019s character changes.

Amber and low, the Soba was just the right fire pit for this particular space. Its proportions are narrower and contained, better suited to a setting where the fire is one element in a composed scene rather than the singular focal point of a terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-four.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-four.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-four-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paloform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Garden-Two-Houses-Beaches-Toronto-four-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Beaches Garden is the kind of project that reminds you what a garden is actually for. Not for a particular season nor for a particular occasion. For morning and evening, for solitude and company, for the specific pleasure of being outside in a place that has been made with genuine care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about this project from Janet Rosenberg and Studio&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jrstudio.ca\/project\/beaches-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image Credits:&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcneillphotography.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>McNeill Photography<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10922,"template":"","categories":[22],"class_list":["post-10926","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature-projects"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/10926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paloform.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
