Atelier Reza Aliabadi is a Toronto based architecture firm founded in 2006.

Well-established in the City of Toronto, this firm’s intellectual designs are modern and functional.

Their new exhibit PRESENCE OF VOIDS –  EXCAVATING SPACE  allows a closer look into their intriguing designs.

“Where we are is where things are not. We inhabit the blankness, and we observe the limitations. We allow the presence of physique distract us from our own imagination. We welcome their dictatorship as they rule our ways of life. But let us all fly over the cuckoo’s nest and “be” not the prisoners of objects. Let us embrace the imminent happenings in an empty space. Let us all gaze at where things are not and through the serenity of their nothingness find life as we know it, or as we want it. Let our imagination fly us high and show us peace and bring us life within the presence of voids.” RZLBD

The Shaft House – An affordably designed house to fit in an extremely narrow lot while still feeling comfortably large to live in.

The Patio House – A minimalist two story design that uses a patio to merge indoors and out.

How stunning are these?

The exhibition of their work is set up at ATELIER RZLBD in Bayview Village Shopping Centre in Toronto. It’s open to public from January 5th to February 25th.
