Project Detail

The Vincent

The Vincent was conceived at a pivotal moment in Vaughan’s evolution, as the subway extension brought new connectivity to the region and a predominantly suburban community began to attract a new generation of residential development. Designed for residents seeking a more elevated, turnkey approach to living, including empty nesters and downsizers, as well as those drawn to Vaughan as a more accessible alternative to downtown, the project offered an opportunity to define what contemporary Vaughan living could look and feel like.

With little existing residential precedent to draw from, the design takes inspiration from the developer’s affinity for Mid-Century Modernism, the sophistication of the Rat Pack era, and the geometric richness of Art Deco. Strong geometry, layered materials, damask-inspired patterns, diamond tufting, cut-glass references, and metallic accents are balanced with warm wood, softer furnishings, and residential detailing to create an environment that feels polished without becoming theatrical.

A consistent material and visual language connects the building’s varied amenity spaces while allowing each to take on its own character. The lobby establishes a refined sense of arrival through warm materials, fireplaces, shelving, and layered textures, while ground-level amenities and courtyards create opportunities to gather, socialize, work, and unwind. The coworking space provides a dedicated environment for focused work and casual connection, while children’s areas interpret the project’s geometric language through softer forms and playful alcoves. Together, these spaces create a network of experiences that extends the role of the building beyond the individual residence.

At the upper levels, the design shifts toward a lighter, more relaxed expression, connecting the amenities directly to the pool and outdoor living spaces. Deco-inspired patterns, palms, latticework, lighter tones, and layered textures evoke the ease of resort living while remaining grounded in a residential setting. Across the project, the balance of glamour and warmth, distinct amenity experiences and a cohesive design language creates a contemporary interpretation of hospitality that reflects both the developer’s identity and Vaughan’s evolving residential landscape.
