RENDERINGS

This project is the renovation of and addition to an existing two-story single-family home in the Chestnut Hills neighbourhood in the west end of Toronto.

A small addition to the front of the first floor allows for an extended kitchen with a dining nook, while the back of the first floor is also extended to provide a family room which navigates the change of grade and opens the living space onto the backyard. The existing garage at the side of the house is removed, replaced with a two-storey addition, providing more function on the ground floor, and a master suite on the second.

Currently in planning. Estimated completion: Spring 2026.
