Artful Move

Ines and Peter Mazzotta transformed their period home with sleek lines and striking art

Designers Ines and Peter Mazzotta were keen to leave behind the frenetic pace of Toronto when they made the move an hour west, to the historic university town of Guelph, just over four years ago. ‘Although we craved a calmer lifestyle, we still wanted to be part of a lively community, and this town has a wonderful cultural, food and music scene,’ says Ines. ‘But, being smaller, it is easier to navigate. We were also drawn to the period architecture, as many of the properties here date from the late 1800s.’
