Rustic Pool House
A brand new pool house was needed that complements the design of the primary residence, and creates useful and usable outdoor entertaining spaces.
New Carriage House
This brand new carriage house extends the design and structure of the current house, creating a workshop and garage that fits in the style of its neighbourhood.
New Kitchen on a Budget
This 1970s bungalow kitchen was small and cramped. Working wihtin space and budget constraints, we transformed it into a usable and functional space that connects with the rest of the main floor space.
Balancing an Off-Kilter Bathroom
The bathroom of this 1800s farm house hadn’t been renovated in decades. Starting over went down to the floorboards and beyond, re-levelling the supporting beams and building up again from there.
The Difference a Window Makes
A kitchen in an 1870s farmhouse had been built out as much as possible within the constraints of the physical layout. Reimagining what it could become started with thinking very differently about windows.
An Open and Workable Kitchen
A kitchen that has not been renovated since it was built in the 1970s. Working within budget and space constraints, we transformed it tino a workable kitchen with good flow and extensive storage.
A Side-Split Substantially Reimagined
This is one of the most radical renovations we have undertaken. A basic bungalow was reinvented into a mult-story structure. Rather than starting over, the essential structure and design was built upon and extended. Roof lines were respected, structural elements were echoed, and new spaces were created that fit within the overall whole. The result is a substantially different house that does everything its owners hoped for.
Post-and-Beam Timber Framing
Not every renovation is extensive, and not every renovated house is old. This project imaged integrating a timber frame structure using traditional post-and-beam construction techniques into a brand new bungalow. The result is a timeless and elegant hand-hewn structure that delivers a prominent and timeless feel.
Integrating the Present and the Past
A lovely and solid traditional one-and-a-half story Ontario farmhouse had been expanded previously. The house lacked connection between inside and outside, and severely limited the availability of natural light. A new addition was designed that worked inside the constraints of existing structures, while creating abundant connection to exterior spaces and light.
Aging Barn to Stylish Arts Space
What happens when you inherit a non-functioning barn on a property that has been in your family for five generations? In this case, the answer was a stylish yet rustic art studio and exhibition space with ample space for entertaining.
