Reworking the structural plan for the main floor allowed them to gain a larger and more functional kitchen complete with significantly more storage and added seating options.  A powder room was added next to the stairs and custom built-ins in the living room, making the home a space they can now grow into. 

Taking the owner’s design concept of raw plywood and industrial pipes, the team added new flooring, exposed the ceiling and built custom features such as a front desk, shelving and wall-hung bike racks.  When the owner added a second location on Dundas St., the same concept as the initial renovation was carried forward, creating consistency between both spaces.

  Once dated and dark, the space was opened up adding better flow and sight lines between the living room and kitchen.  The floor was levelled, with hardwood added to the living room and heated tile in the new kitchen.  An existing powder-room was remodelled and an antique door added a unique touch.   

Removing the wall between the kitchen and the dining room connected the previously separate spaces while adding vaulted ceilings in the living room and a glass railing through to the basement created a further sense of openness.  New windows, a new roof, a remodelled bathroom and new flooring completed the project. 

A full kitchen renovation added significant storage and counter top space and removing the living room wall brought in more light and space throughout.  A custom fireplace surround, new flooring and two remodelled bathrooms added the sophisticated details the family was looking for while the addition of a mudroom and second floor laundry room gave them functionality for years to come. 

An extensive renovation from the basement through to the third story included the replacement of all internal systems, a new kitchen with unique, solid sawn cabinets, two updated bathrooms and ultimately turned the house into a fully functional, four bedroom home.
