Our Projects

This was our first home in Toronto! It was tiny, and when we bought it, it didn’t even have a dining room.

We enclosed and insulated the front porch, replaced the windows with more energy-efficient ones, installed in ground heating, and integrated the porch into the living room to create additional living and dining space.

Given the limited space in the newly generated dining area, we built a custom bench along one side of the room. In addition to providing seating, it offered valuable storage for both winter clothing and shoes.

We also wanted to incorporate a nod to Carlos’s Spanish roots through hand-painted floor tiles. Their thermal properties also made them an excellent choice for transmitting the heat from the electric in ground heating.

The renovation took a couple of months and, aside from the porch enclosure included structural reinforcement and the addition of a skylight above the living room.

This was a gut renovation of a 100+ year-old terraced home in Toronto’s east end. The budget was tight, but the possibilities were endless. With limited resources, we chose to focus our efforts on the elements that would have the greatest impact: the staircase, kitchen and bathroom.

The windows were upgraded, underfloor heating was installed, and a tankless water heater and smart thermostat were added to improve the home’s energy efficiency.

The renovation took approximately four months and included a full gut of the interior replacing all flooring, upgrading the electrical and plumbing systems, smoothing and refinishing the walls, as well as replacing all the built in furniture.
