Luxury renovations in Toronto
Toronto's established neighbourhoods have tight sites, mature trees and older homes with character worth keeping. We plan access, staging and protection carefully so work on a city lot stays tidy and considerate of neighbours.
Basements, kitchens and bathrooms make up much of our Toronto work, alongside rear-garden outdoor kitchens and courtyard water features designed to make a compact yard feel like an extra room.
Neighbourhoods
Forest Hill, Rosedale, Lawrence Park, The Bridle Path, Hoggs Hollow, Leaside, The Kingsway, Moore Park, Lytton Park.
Permits and approvals
Toronto has ravine protection rules, a private tree bylaw and several heritage conservation districts. Many basement and structural projects also need a building permit. We check what applies during design and handle the applications.
