#674 Reimagining Urban Living: The Blue Lion Design and Build Approach with Evan Saskin
<p>Evan Saskin, founder of Blue Lion Building, joins us to discuss his architect-led design-build firm specializing in urban infill housing in Toronto. Since 2011, Blue Lion has been redefining how we use space, blending innovative designs with modern materials like new brick, ACM, and cladding. From laneway homes and ADUs to rooftop decks that offer a retreat from the bustling city, Evan shares how natural light, clever use of angles, and thoughtful details like open riser stairs and floor-to-ceiling windows transform his builds into homes with character. We dive into the challenges and opportunities of working in Toronto’s urban landscape, how clients envision their homes, and the impact of these designs on the surrounding community.
