TORONTO, ON , Nov. 25, 2022 /CNW/ - What defines a well-appointed modern, luxury home? It extends beyond spacious, well-designed and elegant interiors. It's more than bespoke finishes and attention to fine detail. And it requires more than a highly coveted address. It extends beyond "wired" or "smart" technology, integrated security, sound, lighting and entertainment systems or other trendy app-enabled options. It's more than custom, recreational features such as infinity pools, recording studios, theatres, ice rinks and basketball courts.
The definition of a modern, luxury home is evolving. Today's more savvy high-end homeowners and purchasers are influenced and inspired by the world around them. Thus, their wish lists include a few, newer musts-haves. They still want all the tony elements that have been perennially sought-after, but they also want to do it better than generations past. They want modern, luxury homes that are future-proofed, more sustainable, and that simultaneously address traditional form with cutting-edge function. In the same vein as "it" brands like Tesla that defy convention, the most progressive are also the most impressive— designed for the future in a way that considers the planet, particularly from a systems and operational perspective. Importantly, these modern, luxury homes sport a smaller operational footprint, while maximizing sophistication and lifestyle. They also integrate additional sustainable solutions, with passive or active features that contribute to occupant health and wellbeing.
