Carter Fox Renovations was hired to do a complete renovation of this semi-detached home in the Gerrard-Coxwell neighbourhood of Toronto. The main floor was completely gutted and transformed - most of the interior walls and ceilings were removed, a large sliding door installed across the back, and a small powder room added. All the electrical and plumbing was updated and new herringbone hardwood installed throughout. Upstairs, the bathroom was expanded by taking space from the adjoining bedroom. We added a second floor laundry and new hardwood throughout. The walls and ceiling were plaster repaired and painted, avoiding the time, expense and excessive creation of landfill involved in a total demolition. The clients had a very clear picture of what they wanted, and the finished space is very liveable and beautifully showcases their style. Photo: Julie Carter

We’re happy to collaborate and contribute to a variety of projects. Our team worked with Towne Tree and Landscaping of Milton and Classic Masonry of Braintree on an assignment for Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts. In order to deliver a Steel Fence to perfect specifications for the client, we removed an antique railing, restored it and re-installed it. Also, we fabricated and installed two other railings for an existing staircase by duplicating a design in the panels. It was certainly a job well done by everyone involved!

This is an extensive kitchen/dining remodel that involved the removal of a wall and moving a large support header to the attic. The customer wanted a custom oak desk that covering the entire wall of their home office to match the new kitchen cabinetry, large pantry, and hutch/china cabinet with glass doors. The kitchen includes pullouts for spices and trash, as well as a cookie-sheet cabinet above the double oven. The island has an under-counter space for a large microwave and a stainless steel and glass vent hood for the cooktop. The floors are tiled with a ceramic hard-wood styled tile that is very resilient to drops and spills. All our cabinetry is custom made with 100% true-wood (no MDF of particle board), full-extension heavy-duty pull-out tracks, and European hidden-hinges.

Our clients are a family with three young kids. They wanted to open up and expand their kitchen so their kids could have space to move around, and it gave our clients the opportunity to keep a close eye on the children during meal preparation and remain involved in their activities. By relocating their laundry room, removing some interior walls, and moving their downstairs bathroom we were able to create a beautiful open space. The LaCantina doors and back patio we installed really open up the space even more and allow for wonderful indoor-outdoor living. Keeping the historic feel of the house was important, so we brought the house into the modern era while maintaining a high level of craftsmanship to preserve the historic ambiance. The bar area with soapstone counters with the warm wood tone of the cabinets and glass on the cabinet doors looks exquisite.

Some of the aesthetic changes of this renovation involved removing the wallpaper and painting the walls a soft, neutral shade of gray. This change alone made a world of difference! The refreshed walls provided a beautiful backdrop against the rich, dark stain of the new cabinets and white granite counters. For the ‘Hers’ vanity, we filled in the sit-down vanity area with additional storage drawers, complete with electrical outlets inside – perfect for the hairdryer and styling tools. At the far end of the vanity, we installed a glass-front cabinet tower for more added storage. Reducing the size of the mirror and installing a matching frame allowed ample space for decorative sconces on each end. Final photos by www.impressia.net

Incorporating both open and closed storage, along with a serving counter and a designated area for favorite cookbooks, offers a well-organized kitchen design. The revised design delivers enhanced workflow, expanded storage, and added seating for cooking activities. The renovation involved removing a wall, an outdated garden window, and a peninsula. Finishes feature blue-gray and walnut tones, with hexagon tiles outlining the room.

Full home renovation of a Burnaby single-family home completed over nine months. The project involved a complete structural rework of the main floor to create an open-concept layout, including steel beam installation to remove load-bearing walls, a full kitchen renovation, 4.5 bathroom renovations, new HVAC throughout, and structural repairs across the home. The scale and complexity of this project required careful sequencing — structural work, mechanical systems, and finish trades coordinated across an occupied neighbourhood site over a nine-month build. Every scope was managed under one process by Roka Projects, from engineer coordination and permit applications through to final finishes.

The Abraham Knowlton House (c. 1725) was nearly demolished to make room for the expansion of a nearby commercial building. Thankfully, this historic home was saved from that fate after surviving a long, drawn out battle. When we began the project, the building was in a lamentable state of disrepair due to long-term neglect. Before we could begin on the restoration and renovation of the house proper, we needed to raise the entire structure in order to repair and fortify the foundation. The design project was substantial, involving the transformation of this historic house into beautiful and yet highly functional condominiums. The final design brought this home back to its original, stately appearance while giving it a new lease on life as a home for multiple families. Winner, 2003 Mary P.

This extensive interior design project commenced shortly after the clients moved into their newly purchased home. Initially, we provided paint color recommendations to refresh most of the home, buying time until more specific remodels could be tackled. The first phase focused on the Master Suite. We transformed a hall bath into a modern master bathroom featuring raised "his and hers" vanities and a spacious walk-in shower with custom finishes. The master bedroom received a fresh coat of paint and custom window treatments, specifically designed to coordinate with the new bedding. The second phase involved remodeling the basement to create a multifunctional family area that includes a bar and game space, an updated bathroom, and a dedicated hobby/craft room. This new layout provided a versatile space for leisure and creativity. The third and final phase was the most in-depth, involving structural changes to the home’s layout. We removed two walls that separated the kitchen and dining room from the foyer. This alteration not only opened up the space but also allowed for the expansion of the kitchen. New hardwood flooring was laid, and kitchen cabinetry, hardware, countertops, backsplash, and lighting fixtures were all meticulously selected and installed. A cohesive color palette was carried from the kitchen through the dining room, living room, hallway, and into the Jack and Jill bedrooms and bathroom. We also updated the stairway with new handrails, balusters, and stair treads. To complete the transformation, new furniture was ordered and installed throughout these areas. Each phase of this project was executed with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to creating a space that not only meets the clients' needs but also reflects their personal style, making their house truly feel like a home.
