Iconoculture: Life changes, so why shouldn’t living spaces? In Toronto, condo buyers can invest in flexibility with FlexNatür. Instead of buying square footage with a pre-designed floor plan, buildings with FlexNatür enable residents to buy units of space, adding or selling increments and reconfiguring the floor plan as their lifestyle needs change.
Architectural flexibility is built in. Raised floors, for example, can be reshaped without hacking into the concrete substructure. Each unit has self-contained utilities, so plumbing can be reconfigured without shutting down water in the entire building.
The concept, developed by Parallax developers and Sweeny, Sterling & Finlayson architects, is being used in several downtown condo projects, priced from around $250,000 up to $1.25 million.
