BEFORE
This house was built in the 1950’s. The original layout was not suitable for a contemporary family. The space was divided into small rooms. The second floor was not finished, it was a raw space with low ceilings. All the electrical and plumbing had to be upgraded and it needed a new HVAC system. The house had a solid foundation, but everything else needed to be reinvisioned, redesigned and rebuilt.
AFTER
We took down several walls on the first floor, added the french door which brightened up the room. Then, we completely reconfigured and opened the space. This allowed for a huge kitchen with a large island, perfect for entertainment, or homework, plenty of counter space and storage. We used walnut cabinetry for the island and combined it with white solid wood cabinets on the perimeter. Located right off the kitchen, a former bedroom was converted into a playroom/den, but could be used for a home office, perfect for a family.
We raised the roof on the second level and expanded it to add a master suite, two bedrooms and a guest bathroom. The two bedrooms are perfect for kids, or anyone else and both have custom closets and lot’s of light. All bedrooms have custom closets.
The master bedroom is very spacious. It has plenty of room for a king size bed and a nice seating area where you can unwind, read, work or have a cup of coffee. The master bath offers a custom double vanity and large shower with the frameless glass enclosure.
A lot of thought, hard work and love went into redesigning and building this urban style home.
What makes this home unique is the craftsmanship, custom details and quality.

Pale and weathered driftwood. Coastal morning fog. A cool spot of sand – The essence of a Hamptons beach scene captured in a light and inviting Bakes & Kropp kitchen. The foundation for this space is our custom cabinetry, Meridian style, in a hand-painted white finish with Smoke Walnut accents. The expansive waterfall island features the same Smoke Walnut signature finish, as does the custom Bakes & Kropp range hood, which is beautifully banded in stainless steel. Chic orb chandeliers and Bakes hardware in polished nickel bring some jewelry-like radiance to the room, juxtaposing the Walnut’s soft matte finish. From every view and angle, the composition reflects this home’s serene coastal vibe.

From a modest East End bungalow to a striking three-storey custom home — our Dundas St E project was anything but straightforward.
When we began demolition, we discovered the house sat on a former landfill site, which created serious structural challenges. Instead of seeing a problem, we saw an opportunity to apply innovative engineering. Our team designed and installed a foundation system using helical piles and structured footings, creating a rock-solid base for the new build. This project proves that no matter how complex the site conditions, smart design and skilled construction can transform challenges into stunning results. The proof? This home sold within two days of hitting the market.

Not far from the Maine coastline, this renovation project showcases the power of creative reimagining. With an elevated deck in need of replacement, the clients envisioned a new space that would fill with sunshine and offer them the potential to nurture plants throughout the year. Offering full-service design and construction, Sunspace stepped in to make it happen.
The Sunspace team began by replacing the existing deck structure, creating a solid, raised, insulated foundation that would receive the greenhouse addition. A high-quality aluminum frame was chosen for its durability and sleek lines, blending with the home's existing architecture and fitting snugly into the corner of the exterior walls. The generous use of insulated glass floods the interior with natural light while maintaining a comfortable growing environment all year round.
Functionality within a small space is key in this design. Venting windows in the lower sections and operable roof vents ensure proper airflow and temperature control, essential for a thriving plant collection. The interior is thoughtfully finished with planting benches and shelving to establish an organized, inviting workspace. And with direct access from the home, a trip to the greenhouse is an effortless escape for the clients, a world of vibrant growth never further than a few steps away.

We installed new railing, flooring, and French doors on the upstairs deck off the master bedroom deck. We installed a new garage door and siding on the garage gable and rear of the house. The house is in a great neighborhood and had a solid foundation, but the infrastructure needed a lot of attention including:
• Repointing brick in a few areas
• Adding insulation in all the walls and spray foam in the attic ceiling to increase energy-efficiency
• Install new siding and trim on two dormers on rear elevation
• Install new siding on gable end of garage and wall section on main house above
• garage
• Install new PVC trim in profiles to approximate those reflected drawings provided from original plans dated 1939
• Adding central air to all four floors
• New plumbing and electrical systems
• Install new interior doors where needed
• All new Pella Proline windows that match the traditional exterior
• Demolish and rebuild crumbling front steps
• New front door, new frieze, crown, pilasters, columns and trim around front door
• New dentil molding at front of home
• New garage door
