Circular Bed is where Savo Bojicie likes to lounge, spread out his papers and do lots of his creative work. The large bedroom area is designed like a small apartment where Savo and his wife can escape from the children and be alone. The bed has subtle light flowing out from underneath and it makes you feel as if you're floating in space, he said.

Living on a boat at Toronto Island Marina means that Pat and John Dyer can cast off and sail for the Bahamas if they feel like it -- but it also means claustrophobia that impels them to dine out three times a week. A dozen people live on boats in Metro all year, and life afloat suits them just fine.
