The clients for this project approached SALA ‘to create a house that we will be excited to come home to’. Having lived in their house for over 20 years, they chose to stay connected to their neighborhood, and accomplish their goals by extensively remodeling their existing split-entry home.

The back of the split-level after the renovation: stucco and brick, large black-framed windows, a new stone patio and gardens.

Front of an accessible split-level home in Ottawa after an aging-in-place renovation. Brick carried across the whole front, larger windows and a symmetrical layout make the two halves of the split-level read as one house. The lower level gained its own entrance at ground level, with a single step for weather, set up to take a small ramp if ever needed.
