Richard Takes Downtown
House Tour

Name: Richard
Location: Downtown, Toronto, Canada
Size: 790 square feet | 1 bedroom loft
Years lived in: owned for 6, though rented it while living abroad for 3 years

Richard knows what he likes which is a great trait when designing a home. He focuses almost exclusively on "curiosities" and 1960's office interiors. He is slow, methodical, and patient when it comes to acquiring. Specifically, 10 to 15 years worth of searching is not a daunting concept for Richard.
