URBAN
LEGENDS
north toronto
This stately house had been a beloved home to the same family for decades. When a new family took up residence it was an opportunity to refresh the look and layout.
Rather than tear out everything and build a big blank box, great care was taken to hold onto the home's warmth and character. Existing features like original wood trim, glass pane doors and a claw foot tub were preserved and highlighted.
The result is a comfortably elegant home that will grow with this family for years to come.

Kitchen
Opening up the kitchen to the main floor living spaces allowed for better flow through the house. It also gave the parents clearer sight lines to their children's shenanigans!
Strategic sightlines and a open layout gave this kitchen a bright and airy feel despite it's location in the middle of the home and being directly opposite to the side of the neighbour's house.
Bathrooms
Keeping an original clawfoot tub safe and intact during a full house renovation is no easy task but some items are worth the work!
The homeowner was delighted that this gorgous tub was saved and given pride of place in the new primary bathroom.
Modern design can mean different things to different people but we think most folks would agree that a faucet mounted seamlessly onto a mirror is a truly elegent interpretation of a modern theme
Older homes have architectural quirks from days gone by, which if embraced the right way, can offer fun design opportunites in the present day. Like this formerly windowless bathroom tucked away in the third floor bathroom, now a sunny retreat nestled in the tree tops!
Who says child friendly design has to be all about bright colours and plastic?
