Modern Exterior
Black ACM Canopy Enhances Entryway on Valecrest Drive Toronto Home
Design Goals
- The front of the home lacked a clear focal point or entry marker
- The homeowner wanted to add contrast and clean lines without overcomplicating the design
- Durability and minimal upkeep were key requirements
- The canopy needed to highlight the front door and create definition—without making the front elevation feel cluttered.
Our Solution
- Custom-Fitted Black ACM Canopy: Installed above the garage and across the front corner of the home to create contrast and give the facade a clean edge.
- Visual Alignment: The canopy’s height and horizontal placement help visually connect the garage with the front entrance.
- Clean Lines, No Maintenance: Black ACM provides a smooth finish that holds up in all-weather without needing repainting or frequent cleaning.
Results
- The canopy gives the home a stronger street presence and clearly defines the entryway
- The black finish contrasts beautifully with the stone and stucco for a modern look
- The material resists fading and wear—no ongoing upkeep required

The canopy doesn’t just add contrast—it gives the facade structure and helps visually guide visitors to the main entrance. This clean, modern detail was designed to stand out while staying simple and low-maintenance.
