Uniform Developments is proud to announce that our Grandview Court Community has been named a 2024 GOHBA Housing Design Awards Finalist in the New Community category. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to crafting thoughtfully designed communities, and we are honoured to have collaborated with Hobin Architecture Inc. to bring this vision to life.
Located in the prestigious Stonebridge community, directly across from our established Orchard development, Grandview Court is a stunning enclave of 49 dramatic homes nestled on a single cul-de-sac street. Rich in colour and texture, this community is surrounded by a tree buffer and designated open spaces, making it lush with natural landscape and offering “grand views” of the rolling hills of the adjacent Stonebridge Golf Course.
Grandview Court smartly combines transitional and contemporary designs from Hobin Architecture Inc., creating a harmonious yet varied streetscape. The community offers a mix of product types, including bungalow semi-detached residences, which appeal to a diverse demographic while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. This variety ensures each home has its distinct personality, with deep, earthy tones and rich materials forming a strong visual statement across the community. Special attention was also given to the rear elevation of each residence, as the multi-directional exposure toward the golf course called for thoughtful details, varied rooflines, and carefully balanced shapes and scales on all four sides.
Uniform’s commitment to thoughtful design extends even to Grandview Court’s only roadway, Stanhope Court, which meanders with subtle curves and concludes in a quiet cul-de-sac. This purposeful layout enhances the experience of entering and leaving the enclave, adding interest to the streetscape and setting a serene tone for residents. Adjacent preserved green spaces and natural vegetation help create a seamless transition from the homes to the surrounding environment, allowing for natural topography and landscaping that brings a sense of established charm to this new community.
We believe that great homes are a product of their environments, and Grandview Court is no exception. Situated in an established neighbourhood, this community respects the character and history of the area while introducing a fresh architectural perspective. The scale of Grandview Court has been designed to integrate harmoniously with its surroundings, offering residents a sense of belonging and connection to the broader community.
At Uniform, residential construction is more than building homes—it’s about creating art and architecture that stands the test of time. Our boutique approach and exceptional attention to detail—from site selection through to construction and customer service—ensure that each project is executed with purpose and care. This dedication to excellence has been a cornerstone of our work for nearly 30 years, and the Grandview Court Community is a reflection of this enduring philosophy.
We are honoured to have worked with Hobin Architecture Inc., a long-time partner who shares our vision for superior housing and cohesive community design. This collaboration has brought together a wealth of experience, creativity, and respect for architecture that is both innovative and timeless.
Grandview Court stands as a testament to what is possible when passion for design meets a commitment to excellence.
