A unique Mississauga round home is up for sale.
The Lorne Park home at 1352 Nocturne Court was listed this week for $3,550,000 by Royal LePage Real Estate Services Phinney Real Estate.
The rare home is the earliest known surviving round house in Mississauga, a heritage designation report notes. The property received a heritage designation in 2024.
Toronto modernist architect Harry Bernard Kohl designed the home and the prefabricated structure was on display at the March 1962 National Home Show in the Coliseum building in Toronto’s Exhibition Place.
It was conceived as a dream house. The accompanying brochure stressed the “sheer delight and freedom” that it offered the “space-age family.”
The house is topped by a “triodetic dome”, the connectors for which were invented in 1955 by Canadian Arthur E. Fentiman (1918-1993), patented in 1958. The triodetic dome is a type of geodesic dome — the Ontario Place Cinesphere is an example of this structure.
