In contemporary bathroom architecture, the drain has evolved from a purely functional component into a design element that guides layout, accessibility, and long-term performance. When drainage, slope geometry, and waterproofing are designed as one system, the tiled surface achieves both visual refinement and reliable function—qualities that are critical for hotels, spas, and residences. Schluter® establishes the essential drain-to-waterproofing connection in a controlled factory setting, rather than relying on field assembly.

This book takes readers on a journey of the best surviving Art Deco architecture in Toronto and beyond, from the stunning 7th floor of Eaton’s former College St. Store to the breath-taking civic marvel of R.C.

Featuring brief introductions to 43 buildings and beautifully illustrated with over 200 original colour photographs, Art Deco Toronto and Beyond brings to life the beauty and elegance of Toronto’s Deco moment--and that of its closest neighbours--from the 1920s to the 1950s.
