Ravine Glass House
Rosedale, Toronto, ON
So we took this 1960s brick box sitting on prime ravine land and basically reimagined the whole thing. The clients wanted more light - like way more - without losing the connection to the forest behind them. We gutted it, added a steel frame extension, and wrapped the back in floor-to-ceiling glass.
Tech Specs
Junction Studios Co-Working
The Junction, Toronto
Converting an old railway warehouse into flexible workspace wasn't just about slapping up some drywall. We kept the original brick, exposed the wooden trusses, and added a steel mezzanine that kinda floats through the space. Natural light was tricky but we made it work with skylights and strategic glass partitions.
Lakeshore Mixed-Use Development
Etobicoke Waterfront, Toronto
This one's still in planning but it's shaping up to be pretty cool. We're working with the city to transform an old industrial lot into a mid-rise residential complex with ground-floor retail. The challenge? Balancing density requirements with neighbourhood character and keeping those lake views accessible to everyone.
Distillery District Loft Conversion
Working within heritage restrictions is like solving a really complex puzzle. We converted a 1890s malt house into luxury lofts while keeping the historical integrity intact - original timber beams, exposed brick, even the old grain chutes became design features. Added modern steel staircases and glass partitions that respect the industrial character.
Leslieville Eco-Townhomes
These four townhomes were our experiment in pushing passive house standards in Toronto's climate. Super-insulated envelope, triple-glazed windows, HRV systems, and solar panels on every roof. The steel frame allowed for larger spans and better insulation continuity. We hit Net Zero certification on three of them, the fourth's pretty darn close.
Queen West Penthouse
Queen West, Toronto
Open concept done right. We took a cramped 1980s condo and knocked down everything that wasn't load-bearing. Custom steel I-beam to span the main space, new floor plan that actually flows, and a kitchen that doesn't feel like an afterthought.
Ossington Retail Row
Ossington Ave, Toronto
Street-level retail makeover for five connected storefronts. New curtain wall system, unified storefront identity while keeping each unit flexible for different tenants. Steel structure behind the scenes, lots of glass up front.
Beaches House Addition
The Beaches, Toronto
Two-storey addition to a 1920s cottage that needed more space but couldn't lose its charm. We matched the roofline, contrasted materials - old brick meets new steel and glass - and created a light-filled family room that opens to the backyard.
