There’s something undeniably appealing about Toronto’s skyline. With its iconic structures and mélange of architecture, the sprawl is quintessentially urban. When Megan Kozak, founder of POUTx injectable clinic, and Shaun Lambrou, also an entrepreneur in the health-care industry, purchased their 960-square-foot condo in June 2020, they knew they were claiming their own slice of the view.

The loft-style building is part of Urban Capital’s River City development, an east end revitalization project in the West Don Lands. While the builder-basic interior finishes left plenty to be desired, it was the two walls of windows in the two-bedroom, two-bath suite that captured their hearts. “As soon as we walked in, I was like, ‘Yep, we’re buying it,’ ” says Megan. “I told her, ‘We need to shop around, this is the first place we’ve seen!’ ” adds Shaun. “But nothing we saw could compete with that view.”

While they were charmed by the vista, the interiors needed help. The couple hired designer Farah Altoumah in March 2021 to customize their suite. “Farah had helped give my previous clinic a facelift and I knew we would work well together,” says Megan. Their primary asks: more storage, more functionality and a new look to suit their bold, minimalist aesthetic. “Megan wanted the condo to have a luxe vibe,” says Farah. “We took a multifunctional approach, so the space would have a high-fashion look that would work for a photo shoot while still feeling like a home.”
