FEATURE home he house was originally built in the 1940s and had been previously renovated in 1990 by local architect and urban pioneer Pamela Charlesworth. Sitting grandly on King George Terrace, the current size of this home is 4,200 square feet, spread out over three levels. Designed by Bruce Wilkin, he describes the style of the new home as minimal/modern; the exterior is crisp white acrylic stucco and glass. I asked Bruce how the location of the home influenced the style decision. “Along the stretch of King George Terrace there are two really good examples of the Moderne style - I think this house becomes the third white house. Also, there is a great sampling of modernism in the area, particularly on Barclay Terrace, and Dennison Road.” Paul and Elka’s home fits perfectly into its surrounding neighbourhood. T 18
