Illustrations are Artist’s Concept. E.&O.E. Q: How did you approach the design of Nørdic? What was your inspiration for the building?
Our inspiration for Nørdic came directly from the buildings you see on the historic streets of Scandinavian cities, façades that are robust and contribute to a feeling of permanence with proportionately-sized windows that let in an abundance of natural light. We were also inspired by the colour palettes found in northern European countries, and how the light colours can provide a bright counterpoint to short winter days. After all, Toronto gets its fair share of winter.
Q: How did the context of the surrounding neighbourhood influence the design?
Wilson Avenue is a wide avenue with a generous sidewalk. We wanted to maintain that sense of spaciousness and green as much as possible. We were also conscious of the fact that Nørdic is the first midrise building on the north side of the street, so we were mindful that the height and massing of the building fit within the context of the residential buildings across the street.
Q: What do you think Nørdic brings to the neighbourhood of Wilson Heights?
Nørdic will be a important turning point for the transformation of Wilson Avenue from an architect suburban North York street, to a thriving, vibrant, urban thoroughfare.

Here we speak with the award- winning architects to discover their vision for Nørdic. did they become a part of the building architecture?
The Wilson façade is a bit of an architectural essay in frames, solids, and voids. The varying proportion, dimension, and size of these elements gives variety and scale to the façade, while providing shade and privacy.

Scandinavian inspired living NordicCondos.com Q: How did you interpret the Scandinavian aesthetic for a Toronto audience?
Toronto homebuyers are knowledgeable and savvy about the homebuying process. They understand and appreciate different design styles, thanks to the city’s eclectic multicultural mix. In interiors, Scandinavian design conjures the idea of effortlessness, minimalist colour palettes, organic textures, and restrained furniture placement, leaving room for people to move around within a space and take it in from different angles, at varying stages of daylight. At Nørdic, the sensation of lightness and wellbeing is as much a product of the space in between the elements - the room to move freely - as it is of the built forms themselves.
Q: What was your inspiration for the interiors at Nørdic?
I was inspired by the amazing hotel and residence interiors I saw during a recent trip to Copenhagen where they effortlessly combined objects, furniture, and art into incredibly inviting spaces. They were striking and had an eclectic style and a refined, yet comfortable vibe.
Q: The suite layouts at Nordic are wide and shallow – how does that affect how people experience the space?
Wide units have the advantage of bringing more natural light into the spaces, as well as creating open concept plans, giving residents the ability to personalize furniture configurations and flow based on their own needs and aesthetic
interior designer preferences.

We try to create spaces where people feel comfortable and serene, homes that you never want to leave. You know the expression, build a life you don’t need an escape from? At Nørdic we’ve provided the perfect backdrop for that soft, relaxed, minimal aesthetic that gives residents vacation vibes, even when they’re at home. Scandinavian inspired living Scandinavian we all need a little
Inspired by the clean, pure lines of Scandinavian design, the suites at Nørdic offer cozy respite from urban life. Here, function informs form with exceptionally planned spaces where square footage doesn’t “ impede on your ability to live big. ” Hygge [Danish]: feeling cozy and comfortable; an overall sense of wellness and contentment. Hygge NordicCondos.com
A knack for understated elegance and a formidable eye for detail are evident in intelligent layouts that maintain a strong connection to the outdoors. Wide, shallow layouts help flood spaces with natural light and ensure a more efficient flow, where everything is close at hand. Generous balconies are protected from the elements, ready to enjoy winter, spring, summer, or fall and multiple suites include sun-filled terraces and outdoor “urban backyards.” From the penthouse suites to the ground level live/work units, these are spaces designed to respond to how you live.
