Marianna Tomlenovich, Italo-Canadian architect, founder of the Tomlenovich Design study and owner of this new House that exude silent luxury In a quiet family suburb at half an hour from Vancouver, he has chosen a totally white house. «As a designer, I am exposed to many novelties,» says Marianna. «Therefore, I always want to work with many new materials that I have not used previously, but at the same time I wanted the finishes of our house not to be. It is much easier to make definitive decisions when it is not about your own home. The design of this project required a lot and his two daughters, Rosalía (16) and Salana (13), in addition to the family Boston Terrier, Charlie.

A dream house comes alive
«At first we built the house next door and lived there three years, until one day my husband had a client who instantly wanted to buy our residence,» Marianna recalls. «We said yes and decided to demolish the building we had next to our dreams there, because we liked our street so much and our area!» The architect continues, who built her dream from the foundations to the smallest decorative details. The total White House measures more than 510 square meters; The entrance has very high ceilings of 7.3 meters and a microcement curve staircase. The main floor is an open concept with a large and picturesque outer brick arch that frames the outer pool, visible throughout the house. The construction of the house took about two years. «We lead a very busy life and our races force us to be in many different houses on a daily basis. So we wanted our house to be very large but simple at the same time, with clean lines, open spaces, without being cold.»
