For more than half a century this site was home to Cruickshank's, a neighbourhood fixture and much-loved flower bulb distributor. Seeing an opportunity to revive the site and create a house with a meaningful presence on the street, the owner commissioned Roundabout Studio to convert the connected yet disparate buildings into a single, cohesive new home.

A unique space was created: its staggered levels giving interest to the open-concept layout and the owner’s love of music being embraced throughout the space. The revitalizing overhaul restored the building’s prominence in the neighbourhood, ensuring that it remains a proud part of the Toronto streetscape for many years to come.
