Hewitt Ave House
3000 sf House. Toronto, Ontario. Completion Summer 2009.
Design + Contract Administration
Design
Our clients sought to recreate some of the well lit and open spaces they became accustomed to in their current loft. We designed this house to bring maximum natural light down through the interiors by inserting large operable skylights into the roof and cutting away floor plates to allow the light and air to penetrate from top to bottom. Large lift and slide glazed panels open the facades up to the outdoors.

This was a new build. For what they wanted to do it was more cost effective to rebuild. It always depends on the existing conditions and what the final goal is. Best to contact us directly with questions to have a conversation to get relative answer. Thanks
