When Architecture Becomes Art That You Live In

Have you ever walked into a space and immediately felt like you belonged there? Where theproportions felt just right, the light fell perfectly, and every detail seemed to anticipate your needs?That's the magic of working with a truly gifted architect ‒
someone who understands that great design isn't about impressing other architects, but aboutcreating environments that make your life more beautiful, comfortable, and joyful every single day.
Martin Baron is that rare architect who combines technical mastery with an intuitive understanding of how people actually live. Through our partnership with inCAN Developments, renowned for theirability to identify and collaborate with exceptional design talent, we've brought Martin's vision to TheUnionville to create something that transcends typical luxury development.
Martin's approach to architecture reflects a deep understanding that homes aren't just shelters ‒they're the backdrop for your life's most important moments. Every design decision, from the grandgestures that create architectural drama to the subtle details that make daily life more pleasant, is made with the understanding that you'll experience these spaces every day for years to come.
The Philosophy Behind the Beauty
Martin's design philosophy centers on what he calls "emotional architecture" ‒ the idea that buildings should make people feel something positive every time they interact with them. This isn't about creating spaces that photograph well or win awards (though his work does both); it's about creating environments that consistently enhance your mood, support your activities, and make youproud to call them home.
The classical-modern fusion that defines Martin's style reflects his belief that the best architecture honors timeless principles while embracing contemporary possibilities. Classical proportions andspatial relationships provide the foundation for spaces that feel inherently comfortable and beautiful, while modern materials and technologies create the functionality and efficiency that contemporarylife requires.
Human scale remains central to every design decision, ensuring that spaces feel welcoming rather than overwhelming, intimate rather than institutional. Martin understands that luxury isn't aboutcreating the biggest spaces possible ‒ it's about creating spaces that feel exactly right for the peoplewho will live in them.
Natural light integration reflects Martin's understanding that our connection to the natural world isfundamental to well-being. Every space is designed to maximize
daylight while controlling glare and heat gain, creating environments that feel fresh and energizingthroughout the day.
The Art of Spatial Storytelling
Martin approaches each project as an opportunity to tell a story through space ‒ to create asequence of experiences that unfold as you move through your home. This narrative approach todesign creates homes that feel cohesive and complete rather than collections of individual rooms.
The entrance sequence sets the tone for everything that follows, creating a sense of arrival andtransition that helps you leave the outside world behind and embrace the comfort of home. Martin's entrance designs create moments of pause and appreciation that make coming home feel specialevery time.
Public spaces flow naturally from one to another, supporting both intimate family time and larger socialgatherings. The transitions between spaces feel effortless, with sight lines and spatial relationshipsthat create connection while maintaining distinct areas for different activities.
Private spaces provide retreat and restoration, with proportions, lighting, and material selections thatpromote rest and relaxation. Martin understands that bedrooms and bathrooms aren't just functional spaces ‒ they're personal sanctuaries that should support your well-being and providerefuge from the busy world outside.

The Classical Foundation
Martin's deep appreciation for classical architecture provides the foundation for designs that feelboth timeless and contemporary. This isn't about copying historical styles, but about understanding the principles that have made certain buildings beloved and enduring across centuries.
Proportion and scale relationships draw from classical traditions that create spaces that feel inherently comfortable and beautiful. These mathematical relationships, refined over millennia,create harmony and balance that we respond to instinctively, even if we can't articulate why a spacefeels "right."
Symmetry and balance create visual stability and calm, providing the kind of ordered beauty thatserves as a peaceful backdrop for daily life. Martin uses these principles
not as rigid rules but as starting points for creating spaces that feel both structured and natural.
Material authenticity reflects classical values of honesty and quality, with finishes and constructionmethods that reveal rather than disguise their true nature. This approach creates spaces that agebeautifully while maintaining their integrity and appeal over time.
The Timeless Appeal
Classical principles create architecture that doesn't go out of style because they're based onfundamental human responses to space, light, and proportion. Martin's use of these principlesensures that The Unionville will remain beautiful and desirable for decades, protecting yourinvestment while providing daily satisfaction.
Architectural details that reference classical traditions create visual richness and interest withoutfeeling dated or overly ornate. These elements provide the kind of craftsmanship and attention todetail that distinguish truly luxury developments from merely expensive ones.
Spatial hierarchies that reflect classical planning principles create homes that feel organized and logical, with clear relationships between public and private areas, formal and informal spaces, andindoor and outdoor environments.
Cultural resonance comes from using architectural languages that connect to broader traditions ofbeauty and craftsmanship, creating buildings that feel like they belong to something larger thanthemselves while remaining distinctly contemporary.
The Modern Innovation
While classical principles provide the foundation, Martin's embrace of modern technologies andmaterials creates functionality and efficiency that contemporary life demands. This isn't about addingmodern elements to classical designs ‒ it's about creating seamless integration that serves bothaesthetic and practical goals.
Smart building systems are integrated invisibly, providing advanced functionality without clutteringspaces or creating maintenance complications. Martin understands that the best technology is the kindyou don't notice ‒ systems that work reliably in the background while making your life easier and morecomfortable.
Energy efficiency innovations reduce environmental impact and operating costs while maintaining optimal comfort and performance. Advanced insulation, high- performance windows, and efficient mechanical systems create comfortable environments while minimizing energy consumption.
Contemporary materials expand the palette of textures, colors, and performance characteristicsavailable to create beautiful, durable spaces. Martin selects materials not just for their appearancebut for their ability to age gracefully while maintaining their beauty and functionality.
The Sustainability Integration
Martin's approach to sustainable design reflects his understanding that environmental responsibilityand luxury are not only compatible but mutually reinforcing. The most sustainable buildings are those that are built well, maintained properly, and loved enough to preserve for future generations.
Passive design strategies reduce energy consumption through orientation, window placement, andthermal mass that work with natural forces rather than against them. These strategies create morecomfortable environments while reducing mechanical system requirements and operating costs.
Material selection prioritizes durability, local sourcing, and low environmental impact withoutcompromising beauty or performance. Martin's material palette includes both traditional materials withproven longevity and innovative products that offer superior performance with reduced environmental impact.
Water conservation systems reduce consumption while maintaining the luxury amenities that residents expect. Efficient fixtures, smart irrigation systems, and stormwater management create responsible resource use that supports both environmental and economic goals.
The Unionville Design Story

At The Unionville, Martin's vision creates a building that feels both monumental and intimate, sophisticated and welcoming. The design responds to the unique characteristics of the Angus Glensite while creating architecture that enhances rather than competes with the natural beauty of thesurrounding landscape.
The building's massing and proportions create visual interest and variety while maintaining the kind of elegant restraint that ensures the architecture will remain beautiful for decades. Martin'sapproach avoids trendy elements that might date the building while incorporating contemporary features that enhance functionality and livability.
Material selections reflect both the natural beauty of the site and the sophisticated character of theAngus Glen community. Stone, metal, and glass elements create visual richness and texture whilemaintaining the kind of understated elegance that defines truly luxury architecture.
The relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces creates seamless transitions that extend livingareas while maintaining climate control and privacy. Balconies, terraces, and common outdoor areasbecome integral parts of the living experience rather than afterthoughts.
The Suite Design Excellence
Within individual suites, Martin's design creates spaces that feel both spacious and intimate, with proportions and layouts that support contemporary living while maintaining the kind of architecturalcharacter that makes spaces feel special.
Kitchen design reflects Martin's understanding that these spaces serve as the heart of modern homes, with layouts that encourage social interaction while providing the functionality that serious cooksrequire. The integration of appliances, storage, and workspace creates environments that are bothbeautiful and highly functional.
Living areas flow naturally from one to another while maintaining distinct zones for differentactivities. Martin's open-plan designs avoid the bowling-alley effect that can make large spaces feel impersonal, instead creating intimate areas within larger spaces.
Bedroom and bathroom design prioritizes comfort and privacy while maintaining connection to the overall design narrative. These spaces feel like retreats while remaining integrated with the home'soverall aesthetic and functional systems.
The Collaborative Process
Martin's approach to design emphasizes collaboration with both the development team and futureresidents, ensuring that the final result serves everyone's needs while maintaining design integrity.

Quality control during construction ensures that Martin's design vision is realized faithfully, withattention to detail and craftsmanship that matches the sophistication of the architectural concept.
The Resident Experience Focus
Throughout the design process, Martin maintains focus on the resident experience, ensuring that every design decision contributes to daily satisfaction and long-term enjoyment. This resident-centered approach creates buildings that people genuinely love living in rather than just admiringfrom the outside.
Lifestyle accommodation ensures that spaces work for how people actually live, with storage solutions, technology integration, and spatial arrangements that support contemporary routinesand preferences.
Flexibility and adaptability allow spaces to evolve with residents' changing needs over time, ensuring that homes remain functional and appealing as lifestyles and family situations change.
