Espresso, with an extra shot of Scandinavian style

Named after a Viking god, Odin Cafe, designed by Phaedrus Studio, serves up slices of Nordic heaven. Baristas demonstrate their divine powers behind an iceberg-shaped Corian-clad bar. Plywood panels hang from the ceiling, creating a truss akin to a wooden whale skeleton. Caffeine addicts looking to put some meat on their bones can choose from a selection of sandwiches and salads to enjoy on angular Konstantin Grcic stools. odinhus.tumblr.com

A pilates studio on King West offers a carefully considered haven to sweat in style

I’ve tried my fair share of workout classes in Toronto. In my experience, an intentional space is just as important as getting a good burn in — both for my own mental and physical wellness and for the fitness studio‘s business model. If I’m looking forward to spending time in the studio itself, there’s a good chance I’ll be back. At the newly completed LSD°R Studios at 543 Richmond St W, those odds are even higher, with a bright, balanced interior envisioned by Articulate Design + Consulting in collaboration with architect of record Jason Fung Architect Inc. and studio design lead Angela Diaz Romero.
