This new 1,700 sf two-story single family residence for a young couple required a minimum of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, packaged to fit unobtrusively in an older low-key residential neighborhood. The house is located on a small non-conforming lot. In order to get the maximum out of this small footprint, we virtually eliminated areas such as hallways to capture as much living space. We made the house feel larger by giving the ground floor higher ceilings, provided ample natural lighting, captured elongated sight lines out of view windows, and used outdoor areas as extended living spaces. To help the building be a “good neighbor,” we set back the house on the lot to minimize visual volume, creating a friendly, social semi-public front porch. We designed with multiple step-back levels to create an intimacy in scale. The garage is on one level, the main house is on another higher level. The upper floor is set back even further to reduce visual impact. By designing a single car garage with exterior tandem parking, we minimized the amount of yard space taken up with parking. The landscaping and permeable cobblestone walkway up to the house serves double duty as part of the city required parking space. The final building solution incorporated a variety of significant cost saving features, including a floor plan that made the most of the natural topography of the site and allowed access to utilities’ crawl spaces. We avoided expensive excavation by using slab on grade at the ground floor. Retaining walls also doubled as building walls.

This West Linn 1970's split level home received a complete exterior and interior remodel. The design included removing the existing roof to vault the interior ceilings and increase the pitch of the roof. Custom quarried stone was used on the base of the home and new siding applied above a belly band for a touch of charm and elegance. The new barrel vaulted porch and the landscape design with it's curving walkway now invite you in. Photographer: Benson Images and Designer's Edge Kitchen and Bath

Re-defining waterfront living with this complete custom build on Kahshe Lake. A combination of classic Muskoka style and modern interior features work well to create timeless elegance and a breathtaking result. Spatial flow of this gorgeous 1 1/2 story home was expanded vertically with the addition of loft space, highlighting the view from above. Below, in the main living area, a grand stone fireplace leads the eye upward, and is an inviting and majestic centrepiece. The open-concept kitchen boasts sleek maple cabinetry detailed with ‘twig’ hardware and thick slab white granite providing textural interest that balances the lake and forest elements. A fresh neutral palette was chosen for the bedrooms to echo the serene nature of the lake, providing a setting for relaxation and calm. We added functional and recreational space with the construction of two outbuildings – a bunkie/sleeping cabin and a land boathouse, as well as a custom, wrap around screened porch and Muskoka Room.

This household desired a large area on their main floor to entertain. They loved their neighborhood, and wanted to stay in their home. Their kitchen felt closed off, and they needed an office space. Being a split-level, they also desired a powder room on the main level, and to no longer have steps up from the main entrance so there was a much more welcoming "hello" when visitors came. As a result, we added a 15' addition to the home, expanding it to allow a powder room, a new butlers pantry, a dining room and formal parlor/office space. In addition, the main entrance was raised to remove any need for stairs inside the front door, giving the home owners a spacious foyer with two coat closets and a built-in bench seat with storage underneath. The ceilings were also raised to 9' to give the home more height, and the back of the house was expanded a few feet for openness. Greg Hadley Photography.
