Drake's Home
You might have heard a lot about the Toronto home of the famous Canadian singer, rapper and actor, Aubrey Drake Graham (aka Drake). His 50,000 square feet structure is loaded with all amazing amenities, including an indoor basketball court finished with NBA regulation size. It is even crowned by a specially designed 21-square foot pyramidal skylight.

However, instead of investing in usual drywall and loads of ungainly furniture, the artist has decorated his living space with a Canadian architectural finish. It reflects the world’s best craftsmanship with the creative utilization of limestone, exotic woods, bronze, and many other noble materials. In simple terms, each and every minute detail of this property has been executed meticulously.
This Manor House is well recognized as a passion project of Drake. As he is building this house in his hometown, he wanted the structure to stand stronger even for 100 years. Drake says that this will be one of the most timeless and strong things that he will leave behind in the city.

The house is finished with Beaux-Arts architecture with a slight touch of a classic idiom that reflects contemporary spirit. If we talk in terms of materials, form, and execution, this structure looks more like a limestone mansion of the 19th century.
Ferris Rafauli, the interior designer of the house, describes this structure to be cool, sexy, and crazy with a modern Art Deco finish. It displays a classic historical style unit that is rejuvenated and tweaked creatively to serve the needs of the reputed artist and rapper.

The overwhelming luxury of this living space is also delivered by its large rooms that are finished with stunning materials on the ceilings and floors. The scale of rooms in this house sets an impressive tone for visitors. The large entry hall of the house is finished with solid limestone along with the bevelled inserts of the appealing Nero Marquina marble on the ceiling.
Moreover, the great room has a height of 44 feet that pumps the available volume by a considerable level. At one side of the space, there is a grand piano from Bosendorfer, the famous Austrian piano maker, and it is designed in collaboration with the famous Japanese artist Rafauli and Takashi Murakami. There are so many musical elements that enhance the overall beauty of the house. Experts call it the perfect and most authentic combination of quality, craft, and artistry.

The second most important element of the great room is an iconic Metropolitan chandelier that is a monumental iteration of Lobmeyr and is originally designed by the famous artist Hans Harald Rath to decorate the well-known Metropolitan Opera at New York City in the year 1963. Other than this, there are around 20,000 pieces of Swarovski crystals. Furthermore, the impressive light sculptures are known to be the largest installations in the entire world.
