## About

### Houzz Badges

- Star Houzzer
- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

We are a full service residential design firm based in Ottawa Ontario. Our firm specializes in modern, contemporary and transitional design for custom homes and additions/renovations. We are known for our creative and practical approach to design.

Constraint and Collaboration are the core to each of our projects.
We don’t think of constraints as barriers for our ability to innovate, we think of them as tools for creativity. Every project comes with many constraints. Every client has their own requirements, ideas, and budget. Every site has it’s own boundaries, location, and context. Recognizing and combining these constraints drive ideas and originality. Identifying and responding to these constraints is a collaborative effort between ourselves, our clients, and everyone involved in the project. From conception to completion we encourage an ongoing open dialogue between everyone involved to ensure each project is delivered as intended.

**★★★★★ — Urbanworx Developments, June 2015**

> We had the pleasure of working with Steve Ardington of Ardington +  Associates for our first development, 6 semi-detached homes in Ottawa's Est-end.   Steve was very professional and his assistance and support throughout the project were greatly appreciated.   Steve was always available when needed.  He also listened to our comments/concerns and addressed the issues so to make our build easier.  We are looking forward to working with Ardington + Associates again in the future as we were very satisfied with the final product.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Grant, Sept. 2014**

> Our little family had the absolute pleasure of having Steve Ardington design the renovations and addition to our home.  He came highly recommended and delivered on every promised, on time and with care.  Our existing home and special requests presented many challenges to Steve.  We had purchased my grandmother's 1950's house with the intention of making it our "forever home."  We asked Steve to take the small, two-story house that worked well a generation ago, and turn it into open, 21st-century home with a nod to the Craftsman style.He did it and we love everything about his design and our new home.  Despite its radical make-over, it still sits well on our little street and we have had nothing but compliments since the work was completed. Steve is professional, friendly, and flexible.  He knows the industry and is able to make suggestions that we could never have imagined!  He is talented and insightful with an eye and mind for design.  We would recommend him to our friends and family!

**★★★★★ — Maple Leaf Custom Homes, Oct. 2013**

> “We've had the pleasure of working with Steve at Ardington and Associates for several years. He is extremely competent, hardworking and professional. We trust him not only with most of our working drawings but also design assistance.”  Fred Carmosino - Maple Leaf Custom Homes

- [Highland Ave. Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-ave-custom-pj-vj~2745347)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 44
  - Description: The project involved tearing down an small, outdated home on an infill lot, and creating a new space for a young family. The clients were looking for a traditional design, something that would stand the test of time. It was important for them to have a home that would be truly original, something unlike any other in the neighbourhood. Given the zoning requirements of the area we had only a small area to work with, but were still able to arrange the floor plan in an ‘H’ formation. By doing this,…

  - Location: Ottawa, ON
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: A design-savvy couple was looking to expand and modernize the main floor of their classic, three-storey Glebe red brick. They requested a sensitive renovation that would modernize the first- floor space while respecting the heritage nature of their house and neighbourhood. A discreet modern side addition is set well back from the main façade and partially hidden behind a cedar fence. Inside, a clever reorganization of the interior space sees the living room moved into the addition, freeing up sp…

  - Location: Ottawa, ON
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: A modern family loved their location but not their boxy 1970s-era house. An imaginative renovation increased the home's available interior spaces, while boosting its curb appeal with a double-peaked roof and roomy front porch. The farmhouse-style home, while unmistakably modern, fits the suburban streetscape and showcases a striking monochromatic colour palette. The inviting façade sees peaked metal roofs highlighting an above-garage addition housing the couple's master suite. The Hardie board c…
