This 670 sq.ft. two-storey addition to the rear of this North Toronto home, continues the Art's and Craft flavour of the existing house.

The clients' needs were met by providing a sophisticated family room, with fireplace, open to a new gracious kitchen and a larger master bedroom suite on the second floor.

Tapered wood columns sit on a new half wall each side of a flat archway to the existing dining room. Heated limestone flooring extends throughout the kitchen, powder room and family room.

Pre-stained shingles and trim sitting on a brick plinth, gives the rear elevation a textured and relaxed feeling, perfect for backyard entertaining in the city.
