This is the view of the original front door and living room window. The door was relocated to the side to create way for a new powder room and the front entry was built in the old living room, along with the new formal dining room.

Rear of home before renovation - small patio door and window on the main floor limited access. The window top left, while large and provided a view, it was in an awkward and small room so we closed it to make way for a walk in closet

The original home and an existing addition were altered at the back on the main level by adding a man door from the kitchen (left) to access the deck for bbq cooking. Centre, a new 12ft sliding door was installed to bring light into the home and provide an increased view of the ravine in the rear...

This former living room was large and located at the front of the home. We cut it up and created a new front entry and formal dining room from the space.

Just off the family room, this space was awkward!

Located in the former front entrance, this powder room is on the main floor, across from the main stair in a way that has little interaction with the open concept space that surrounds it.

staircase and hall before renovation

This staircase was preserved, as was the handrail, though new pickets, paint and runner updated the overall look. Wall removals at the new front entry and side entry access to the basement make the space feel more open and easier for traffic flow of a busy family.

This is the kitchen on the day we arrived, with a closed in wall separating it from the dining room.

This open concept kitchen provides ample work space and great views of the family room and ravine in the yard. A former window was cut into a door for easy access to the bbq for outdoor grilling. Casual seating for 5 is achieved at the massive island.

With a powder room stuck in the left side of the frame, the family room was awkward and segmented. A smaller opening from the dining room and dinette made for a space which was tough to furnish

This was the view from the kitchen to the rear facing dinnette. The small window provided no access to the rear yard and the old archway made the space feel cramped and tight.

this family room had a powder room located within it (see door top left). The wall was opened up for a massive 12 ft sliding glass door, and the powder room was relocated to the former front entrance, away from main living areas.
