Additions & Renovations

Country: Canada
This house was originally a modest country inn, and hosted, among others, members of the Group of Seven on their summer sketching trips to the Credit River Valley. We extensively restored the badly deteriorating main house and added a visually compatible side addition to provide a larger kitchen...

Our clients acquired a rather tiny mill workers cottage in the Village. Clearly, they needed much more space to accommodate their family. Rather than changing the original cottage and sacrificing its heritage character, we restored this original block and converted it to a new master suite. A new...

We added a new, extensively glazed family room, complete with wood burning fireplace, to this classic Victorian farmhouse north of Port Hope. The room was configured to provide optimal views south overlooking a pond, and west to capture the unset view. The existing front porch was extended to...

This sprawling house has been enlarged many times over the years, and we have carried out the last two additions. We enlarged the kitchen / breakfast area, added a larger dining room and reconfigured the outdoor terraces, all overlooking the creek valley that ran behind the property.

This house was completely gutted, and a large rear addition enlarged it from approximately 5,000 sq. ft. to about 8,000. The interior was totally reconfigured and refinished over all four levels, with a very high standard of millwork finishing. Since the house is located in a Designated Heritage...

To accommodate a growing family, we raised the roof of this home and re-built it with enough volume to accommodate two additional kids’ bedrooms and bath. We also created a rear addition to provide an enlarged family room at the main floor and an extensive master en-suite plus roof deck above. The...

Our client owned a rather non-descript suburban bungalow in a very desirable area of the beaches. She needed an up-grade to the exterior, and she expressed an interest in Craftsman Style design. To those ends, we created a new front vestibule and porch, a new dormer to a previously unfinished attic...

This Beaches project started with a house in very poor condition. We carried out extensive interior renovations and created a substantial storey-and-a-half rear addition, consisting primarily of a new great room with a cathedral ceiling. A new bedroom suite overlooked the great room below. All...
