The Westboro Home in Ontario is a residential project designed by Kariouk Associates. The house responds to the needs of the clients. They wanted a bright and lively home, yet intimate (with a sense of privacy). The house displays an interesting exterior (half black, half white), large windows and a garden filled with ornamental plantings. "The garden takes a "bite" out of the tight, permissible building area, however it allowed for an extensive amount of glass that otherwise, due to restrictive building code requirements, would not be possible. The courtyard's lot-line side remains open, while its three interior sides are filled with windows and bring natural light into the heart of the home on both living floors."

The AACM pays homage to the diverse styles of expression within the body of Black Music in the USA, Africa and throughout the world.
