Tucked into a deep urban lot, this renovation and addition balances thoughtful design with the client’s love of music, art, and natural light. A new attached garage offers seamless access and a more practical entry for the couple and their two large dogs. At the back, a rebuilt two-storey addition opens the home to its expansive garden, with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a covered porch that extends outdoors. Inside, reflective surfaces and sheer window treatments draw light deep into the home. A restrained exterior palette – red brick, thermally treated wood, and lightweight concrete – quietly balances old and new. Spaces were composed around the client’s art collection with custom millwork supporting high-performance audio, creating a home that is visually calm and acoustically alive.
