Retaining portions of a single-family home allows for a thoughtful transformation into a multi-unit development that balances increased density with livability. A substantial rear extension and third-storey addition convert the existing structure into a well-appointed fourplex, maximizing residential capacity while maintaining the integrity of the original footprint.

This urban infill project reimagines the property through strategic interior alterations, carefully preserving the exterior brick walls. This approach demonstrates a strong commitment to neighbourhood character integration, ensuring the new development remains sensitive to its residential context.

Guided by public consultation and sustainable design strategies, the project offers a gentle and contextually appropriate increase in density. It responds directly to Toronto’s growing need for missing middle housing, providing a future-forward model for thoughtful intensification in established neighbourhoods.
