This is a project I followed through from initial design to construction. The challenge of this project is that the house was listed as historical heritage building. Any exterior renovation design will need to respect the building’s original character and gain the supports of the city heritage committee. Ironically, the clients had an affection for modern design, and wanted to rebuild the worn-out carport and canopy to reflect their recent modern renovation on the interior. They also wanted a new design of the front yard landscaping to open up the driveway, as it is currently on an acute angle, making it very difficult to park.
