Building Overview

Architectural Design

Audax Architecture, led by Gianpiero Pugliese, designed The Bedford as a modern interpretation of Parisian Haussmann style, the proportioned facades, contrasting dark mansard roofs, and sculpted stonework that characterize Paris's celebrated 19th-century boulevards. The building features classic materials including wrought-iron balcony elements and carefully articulated massing creating visual harmony with Yorkville-Annex's heritage streetscape while establishing contemporary architectural presence.

This human-scale building at 13 storeys maintains intimate character while delivering comprehensive luxury amenities typically reserved for much larger developments. The corner location at Bedford and Davenport holds historic significance, Davenport Road follows an ancient Indigenous trail along Glacial Lake Iroquois's shoreline, while Bedford Road, established in 1886, counts 15 heritage buildings along its length.

Studio Paolo Ferrari Interiors

Studio Paolo Ferrari designed all interior spaces celebrating contemporary luxury through hotel-inspired elegance. Every residence features 10-foot ceilings throughout with zero bulkheads, a rare specification optimizing natural light and creating generous proportions enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows.

Custom kitchens soar to 9 feet with Studio Paolo Ferrari cabinetry featuring soft-close drawer systems, designer-selected stone slab countertops and backsplashes, and comprehensive 6-piece Miele appliance packages including integrated refrigerator, cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave speed oven, and vented hood fan. Contemporary single-lever faucets with stainless-steel undermount sinks, under-cabinet LED lighting, and integrated breakfast bars complete the culinary workspace.

Principal bathrooms showcase Studio Paolo Ferrari floating vanities with integrated storage and soft-close hardware, designer-selected plumbing fixtures including pressure-balanced rain-style showerheads and thermostatic valves, frameless glass shower enclosures, and white free-standing or built-in tubs depending on layout. Custom mirrors with integrated medicine cabinet storage, designer-selected tile feature walls and floors, and exhaust fans vented to exterior demonstrate attention to detail throughout. The design philosophy prioritizes thoughtful materiality, restrained sophistication, and authentic craft.
