West Lynn.
A Modern East Danforth Addition
The clients of this East Danforth home wanted to expand their living space and create a new principal bedroom to capture views out over Small’s Creek. The existing home had already been renovated, so it was important to preserve the work that had already taken place.
Carefully removing the roof structure of an old single-storey addition, a new volume was carefully placed around the existing kitchen, leaving the previously-renovated kitchen at the heart of the main floor.
The extended footprint of the home creates a more defined series of interior and exterior spaces perfect for entertaining, with room for intimate groups to gather separately, or a larger group to come together. A deep window well at the rear ensures the new lower level also shares a close relationship with the backyard and ravine.

From the client
“The team at Sustainable took amazing care of us when we started the journey of creating a larger home. They immediately understood that whereas we wanted to build an addition, we wanted to maintain the existing feel of our home and the “look” of our property from the street. We wanted our home to continue to belong to the neighbourhood. They designed a stunning, smart, seamless, and engaging three-story addition to the back of our small semi. They were absolute heroes, negotiating and maneuvering through the various steps associated with a significant renovation on a ravine property. (Permits!) We love the new rooms that have been added and we can’t imagine our home without them. Our home is truly complete now.
Working with this company was an outstanding experience and we are happy to say that in addition to an amazing new home, we have made some lovely new friends. The team at Sustainable is a respectful, kind, and socially conscious group of talented people who hold the needs of their clients first at heart. We trusted and continue to trust them completely.”
