A former two-bedroom bungalow was successfully “topped” to create a four bedroom, three and a half bathroom, contemporary home. While the original footprint of the bungalow was retained, the final result was on open plan structure that yielded more than twice the square footage of the former building. Custom sized stone from Wiarton, Ontario was used and the box bay windows were clad with custom profiled clear cedar. The remainder of the front façade and elevations were clad with James Hardi cement panels and colour matched to the wood/aluminum clad Kolbe windows.
