2366 Carrington Pl, Oakville, built in 1974, is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by Town of Oakville By-law 2024-107.
History
The subject house demonstrates and reflects the work of architect Joseph Storey, a significant Modern architect in Ontario whose work has been recognized across Canada and internationally. Storey is thought to be the architect who brought progressive, minimalist, Modern design to southwestern Ontario. Joseph Storey’s architectural firm designed over 1,000 buildings over its 30 years, many of which are still architecturally significant. The subject house is a rare Storey design; it is the largest home he ever designed, the last residence he designed, and the only one in the Greater Toronto Area.
Heritage attributes
The subject house is a representative example of Modern residential architecture and is a rare example in Oakville as one of the few from this design and period. It is representative of the style and philosophy of Modern architectural design through many of its built elements such as its: flat roof; asymmetrical façade; use of various cladding materials on the exterior and interior such as glass, stone, and wood; split-level design; use of large glass window walls for an indoor-outdoor living space; open floor plan; minimal decoration; strong use of horizontal lines; and the integration of the landscape into the design.
