The Globe and Mail published an interesting article a few weeks ago about the new luxury condominiums being built in Oakville's lakefront. The property was formerly owned by Mattamy Homes President Peter Gilgan, but when developer Marc Hewitt purchased the property from him, he had bigger dreams.

Actually, "bigger" might not be the correct term here. Gilgan had built a 32,000-square foot home on the lot in 1994. However Hewitt has decided to develop the land into a luxury condo community, and after consulting with architect Peter Clewes, it was revealed that tearing down Gilgan's former mansion was going to be the optimal approach.

Peter Clewes' architect firm architectsAlliance developed some incredible computerized images of the future Edgemere Estates, and I'm absolutely amazed with the level of detail they have achieved. I'm not sure which program they have used, but I've never seen anything like it! If you know....let me know!

All images displayed are taken from the Globe and Mail article that has been linked, and are the work of architectsAlliance.

I highly recommend visiting the architectsAlliance website to view more of their projects. They have generated some incredible online renderings that are well worth seeing!
