Our design philosophy is grounded in a basic conviction and fundamental belief that great architecture is less about style and more about discovery. This belief is what drives our continuous pursuit of connecting client needs and desires, project budget, context, and artistic expression into a truly unique sense of place. Linebox is a small collaborative design studio that is interested in all project types regardless of size and budget. Unlike large corporate firms our clients benefit from having direct access to the principal of the firm throughout the entire project. “As designers of the built environment, it is our goal to bring our clients unique concepts in how they inhabit and experience space.” – Andrew Reeves ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Space Planning ### Areas Served - Toronto ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Linebox Studio | | Address | 340 King west, Toronto M5A 1K82, Canada | | Phone | (416) 840-6910 | | Website | http://www.linebox.ca | | License Number | OAA - Registered Architect | | Followers on Houzz | 295 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/lineboxstudio - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/lineboxstudio ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Linebox Studio](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/linebox-studio-pfvwus-pf~2114414884) - **Website:** http://www.linebox.ca - **Phone:** (416) 840-6910 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - OAA, Green renovation of the year (Ottawa) - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2015), for Design. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 5 reviews** ### All 5 reviews **★★★★★ — cark99, Sept. 2014** > We hired Andrew and his team to help redesign the facade and an office addition to the front of our home. Linebox was very helpful in all aspects of the design and build including detailed renderings of what the end result would be before we started construction. We are extremely pleased with the mordernized look and functional use of space delivered by the Linebox team. **★★★★★ — Dark Tools, Aug. 2014** > If I haven't told the Houzz peeps how much I love being part of the LineBox family , well these guys truly think outside the box and challenge us every project to deliver their clients vision! **★★★★★ — nolanbri, July 2014** > I hired LineBox Studio to design my house in Ottawa. I received outstanding service during the entire process. The owner Andrew Reeves was aways professional, listened to my input and used them to come up with innovative ideas for us to review together and make design decisions. I would highly recommend LineBox studios to anybody looking for custom and innovative designs and great personalized service. > just now **★★★★★ — potatodog, July 2014** > I hired Andrew and his team to manage the design and execution of a residential remodel. Having been familiar with Andrew's work from other projects, I was very pleased to have him involved. Linebox had taken over the project after another design firm had failed to deliver proper and effective services and after a year of battling with the city for proper approvlas. Linebox delivered on everything they said they would in a professional and gracious way. They involved the right peopel and managed the deisgn and approvals process excellentlly. Our project is back in the map here in Toronto and we are all looking forward to the end result which I am sure will be nothing other than another addition to the excellent work in Andrew's portoflio. **★★★★★ — patrick88, March 2013** > Andrew Reeves of Linebox is an architect who has the exceptional skills of listening to a client's concepts and then transforming these into striking structures of modern design. It's the integration of clean lines, balance of dimensions of structure, maximization of natural light resulting in a dwelling which is comfortable, efficient and beautiful. > > This is important if you have clear ideas on how your house should look. Andrew helps those ideas come to life rather than injecting his own concepts. But he will offer suggestions which one can consider which often brings out the end product to something even greater than you expected. > > Also, due to his experience he'll provide ways which might, in the end, cost you less than you anticipated with his knowledge of materials, workmen and design. ## Selected projects - [Wavell](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wavell-pj-vj~1687037) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Candid](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/candid-pj-vj~1680308) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Craven - Mini House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craven-mini-house-pj-vj~199540) - Location: toronot, ON - Photos: 40 - Description: “I wanted to re-create the large open spaces, industrial feel and raw materials of my loft in a home that was not in a building” – Client THE STORY Mini house sits on a 14’x70’ lot on Craven Road, in the ‘Tiny Town’ neighborhood of Toronto.

I love the white siding, and the roof is newer. I am not a fan of the all green roof, shutters, and door. I love red doors, but do not want the house to look like Christmas!

A: Agree charcoal shutters and red door **Q: Ideas for outdoor soundproofing panel?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello :) Our neighbor's AC unit is bothering us. We live in the city and have a tiny outdoor space adjacent to the unit, separated by a wooden fence. I would like to insert a 5x7 foot panel between the AC unit and the wooden fence (on neighbor's side of the fence). The width of the slot is only about 3 inches. Any ideas for soundproofing materials? Any reduction would be nice for warm weather months! Thank you. A: Google TAK Brand. Is a foam product that would be ok for exterior.
