Location: Queen & University, Toronto. Size / Program: 256 micro-condo units; retail space on Floors 1 and 2; 16,000 square feet of Class A office space on Floors 3 and 4. Architecture & Interior Design: Architects Alliance, II X IV Design, Aya Kitchens. Development Partner: Malibu Investments, Toronto. Status: Completed 2019.
Toronto’s (and maybe Canada’s) first development designed exclusively as “micro-condos,” Smart House makes living at an expensive location such as Queen and University affordable by delivering units that are small in size (as small as 276 square feet) but highly functional through smart design. Developed in partnership with Malibu Investments, Smart House looks critically at all the elements inside a condominium—from kitchens and bathrooms to storage—to make sure they are “right sized” and efficiently designed for smaller space.

There will come soft rains and the
smell of the ground,
And swallows circling
with their
shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that they were gone.

This poem was in a short story that we had to read for English. It was about how a nuclear bomb went off, and this house was still there. It was a SmartHouse, and totally automated. It would say "7am, time for breakfast," but no one was there to hear it. It would always send out little robotic mice to clean everything up. Their silhouettes were etched onto the outter wall, because there were outside when the bomb went off. But the house would go through and make breakfast everyday, and it was just kinda freaky. And then, somehow the dog survived the blast, and came into the house, at 2, yelping for its owners. it finally started to go crazy, and it laid down, and died. The next sentence: "2:15, the dog is gone".
It was just really creepy, but REALLY GOOD, i suggest reading it. It's called "There Will Come Soft Rains"

We figured it would be a nice synergy effect to play around a bit with the equipment in the EMT booth.
