Brunswick Parlour transforms a Victorian cottage into a hard-working, personalised home for a family of four. Our clients loved the character of their Brunswick terrace home, but not its inefficient floor plan and poor year-round thermal control. They didn't need more space, they just needed their space to work harder. The front bedrooms remain largely untouched, retaining their Victorian features and only introducing new cabinetry. Meanwhile, the main bedroom’s previously pokey en suite and wardrobe have been expanded, adorned with custom cabinetry and illuminated via a generous skylight. At the rear of the house, we reimagined the floor plan to establish shared spaces suited to the family’s lifestyle. Flanked by the dining and living rooms, the kitchen has been reoriented into a more efficient layout and features custom cabinetry that uses every available inch. In the dining room, the Swiss Army Knife of utility cabinets unfolds to reveal a laundry, more custom cabinetry, and a craft station with a retractable desk. Beautiful materiality throughout infuses the home with warmth and personality, featuring Blackbutt timber flooring and cabinetry, and selective pops of green and pink tones. The house now works hard in a thermal sense too. Insulation and glazing were updated to best practice standard, and we’ve introduced several temperature control tools. Hydronic heating installed throughout the house is complemented by an evaporative cooling system and operable skylight. The result is a lush, tactile home that increases the effectiveness of every existing inch to enhance daily life for our clients, proving that good design doesn’t need to add space to add value.

PROJECT Square Footage: 2,500 sqft luxury condo in the heart of Toronto Project Type: Vantage Distributed RadioLink Challenge: A two bedroom condo with large open spaces with a goal to easily set scenes and control lighting, audio & video and shading. Benefits: The new Vantage IC DIN II Lite controller provides a complete automation solution and added measure of comfort dramatic lighting scenes. The homeowner is able to enjoy preset lighting scenes throughout the home. The use of sophisticated EasyTouch II keypads allows the owner to alter the mood at the touch of a button. The welcome button on the EasyTouch II dimmer by the front door lights a pathway to his common area, opens all blinds and sheers and turns on his favourite music to set the mood. When the homeowner sits down to relax, they can control the lighting, drapes, fireplace and his audio and video entertainment with either the Vantage Equinox app on his iPhone or iPad, or by using their RTI T2i two-way radio frequency remotes. They can even lower the TV from the ceiling in the master bedroom. And when it is time to retire, either a press of a button on an EasyTouch II dimmer or on the RTI remote will turn off every light, TV and AV source, the fireplace and close the drapes.

This project was to convert an existing exposed basement into a pool room to be used for exercise, fun and hydro therapy. The pool includes swim jets that provide a current and allow swimmers to swim in place. An automatic cover helps to control the humidity in the room when the pool is not in use. The space also includes a Caldera Adventine spa for relaxation and hydrotherapy. Connor Design and Remodeling was awarded a Gold WRA Award for this project.
