ONE PLATFORM. INFINITE REALITIES

E-Magazine - August 2026

The August 2026 edition of FORMA Magazine shows how thoughtful architecture builds resilient communities. Transforming Toronto's industrial shoreline, Biidaasige Park emerges as a breathtaking public space guided by Indigenous knowledge, honouring the land while preparing for climate realities. Taking a tactical approach, Park(ing) Day Toronto reclaims asphalt parking spots into vibrant parklets that challenge our reliance on the automobile. On the frontier of sustainable development, mass timber prefabrication cuts project timelines and lowers carbon emissions. 1120 Ossington leverages this technology to rapidly construct supportive housing. Beyond the city, Magdalen House rests lightly on fragile island dunes using raised timber piles. Finally, Long Lake Cottage offers an off-grid retreat in the Muskoka forest.

Project Spotlight: September 2026

Long Lake Cottage: An Off-Grid Muskoka Forest Retreat

Long Lake Cottage is a fully off-grid, multigenerational retreat in the secluded Ontario wilderness designed by Dubbeldam Architecture + Design. Born from a year of camping on the site, the accessible home prioritizes wilderness immersion. Its unique inverted layout places communal living spaces on the upper level within the tree canopy, while private bedrooms nestle below on the forest floor, blending beautifully into the natural landscape.
