Transform your family’s lifestyle by moving to a more open-concept ground-floor design. The right connection between your kitchen, living and dining areas will allow your family to communicate and engage with each other more naturally.
It’s amazing how much atmosphere influences your mood, and nothing improves atmosphere like the right lighting. By adding larger glass doors and windows, we can bring in more natural light and better views. This, coupled with the right decorative lighting inside and outside, can make a tremendous difference to how you feel about your home.
We can design a beautiful custom kitchen for you that tastefully integrates with your furniture, creating a space where you’ll love to live. Cooking and entertaining with your family and friends becomes much more enjoyable when your surroundings feel spacious, organized and attractive.
Maybe you’d like to open up the staircase to add more architectural interest, remove or relocate walls, add insulation or improve your heating/cooling system. Or perhaps you want space for a powder room or additional coat storage. Whatever you’re dreaming of, our award-winning team will design and build a ground-floor space that feels perfect for you and your family. We are experts at ground-floor and kitchen renovations in old Toronto homes and ready to put our experience to work for you.

We hear the same concerns over and over again about the second-story spaces in old Toronto houses. The closets are too small, the bedrooms are too hot or too cold, the floors are creaky, there’s no privacy, the bathroom is too small, the windows are drafty or don’t open, the rooms are cramped and hard to furnish, we wish we had an ensuite bathroom…
Let us help you transform your poorly functioning bedroom and bathroom areas into beautiful spaces where your whole family has the function, comfort and privacy they need. We can provide spa-like bathrooms styled to your personal tastes, practical storage solutions, custom furniture and interior decorating support to make these vital living areas work perfectly for you and your family.
Add skylights, replace or enlarge windows, upgrade flooring, doors and trim, add soundproofing, or improve the heating and cooling so you feel more comfortable. Our award-winning design team is experienced with second-story design and can help you style the spaces to suit the special character of each member of your family. We’ll help pick the perfect paint, wallpaper, window coverings, furniture, artwork and decorating touches to make you love where you live.

Maybe your old Toronto home basement seems like a pretty hopeless space right now. Is it dark and damp? Do you have to duck to avoid bumping your head on beams, pipes or ducts? The staircase is too narrow and the floor is uneven, or maybe there are big brick pillars making it impossible to use the space the way you’d like to. You’ve probably heard about the possibility of underpinning your basement to gain more headroom, but maybe it seems like a scary, dangerous and expensive idea and you’re wondering if your basement could ever really be transformed into high-quality living space.
Lowering and finishing an old Toronto basement definitely requires a special combination of expertise, planning and the coordinated collaboration of a number of different professionals. But with the right team, basement renovations can be sound investments and make a tremendous difference to daily living. With our compact city lots and soaring property values, it’s now making more economic sense than ever to consider lowering and finishing your old Toronto basement.
Since 1989, we’ve helped hundreds of Toronto homeowners literally put their homes on a solid new footing. Not only can we gain headroom and transform your basement into a beautiful, bright, comfortable living space, but we can also update all the important infrastructure systems in your home at the same time. Waterproofing, water service, sewer lines, electrical and plumbing systems, heating and cooling systems, insulation systems and interior structural systems all have a huge impact on your comfort, convenience and safety. Our experienced team can bring these systems up to modern code standards and help you make the most of the precious, underused space beneath your home.
With full-time structural engineering, planning, and design personnel on our team, rest assured we have the professional expertise and experience to guide you through the basement design and renovation process properly. Let’s talk about your basement!

Baby on the way, or are the kids getting bigger? If you’re feeling the squeeze, wishing for a larger kitchen/family space or a private primary bedroom suite - a rear addition may be the answer. Sometimes adding a second or third storey may be a better solution, depending on your family’s needs, your property conditions or the City’s zoning restrictions.
Whatever the style of your home, and whether your preference is contemporary, traditional or transitional, our award-winning architectural and design team can help you explore the different options and develop the right plan for you and your family. Together, we’ll find a design that blends the new space with your existing space or makes a bold, contrasting statement, striking a balance between function, style and budget that feels right for you.
We have decades of experience with home additions, including second-floor additions, and with working in the challenging limited-access conditions common to many old Toronto properties. We’re also experts in the City’s zoning, Committee of Adjustment, and permit approvals processes. Authorized by the Professional Engineers of Ontario to provide engineering services to the public along with our award-winning project managers, our highly trained construction staff and longstanding, vetted specialty contractor partners, no company is better qualified in Toronto to steer you from start to finish through the planning, budgeting and construction of a major home addition project in this city.
Before you assume that moving is your only option to gain more space for your family, let’s talk. There’s a very good chance that we can expand and customize your current home to solve all your home space concerns while saving you tens of thousands of dollars in real estate fees, land transfer taxes and moving costs.
