Nestled within an established neighbourhood in Toronto’s west end just north of the shores of Lake Ontario, 81_27 is a project for a young, growing family which integrates a modern addition with an existing century home and its detached garage. Deriving its form from the scale of the existing buildings, program requirements, site orientation and micro-climate, the strategic positioning of the addition creates a mini-campus of new and re-defined architectural elements, transforming the original site plan into a cohesive, site specific courtyard residence which engages its site both spatially and environmentally.

We gave this Newburyport, Massachusetts townhouse a second life with a full renovation that built upon the impeccable bones of the old building. Salvaged wood and soapstone elements in the kitchen design complement the existing timber ceiling and brick walls while adding additional texture. We refinished the pine floors throughout and added hidden ceiling lights that provide illumination and ambiance without compromising the architectural lines of the space.
Beautifully crafted, handmade cabinetry and molding details added to the bedrooms and baths coordinate with the existing Indian shutters. By maintaining respect for its historic authenticity we were able to create for the owners a very special home that resonates with comfort and warmth.
