THE OBJECTIVE

To create the addition of a master suite that ties in with the home’s 1950’s style angular architecture while providing homeowners the opportunity to enjoy their North Shore view.

HOW IT WAS ACHIEVED

The addition is engineered to be supported upon the existing structure without foundation reinforcements. Natural light and sight lines are optimized through an innovative angled floor plan treatment.

KEY FEATURES

This renovation enables views of the harbour, city or garden. The new master bedroom features clerestory windows that provide natural light to the bedroom while maintaining privacy.

A floating hidden-stringer staircase, crafted of solid mahogany, is accented by paired skylights. Light strips accentuate the tiled landing and all floors are heated.

1950’s stylized architecture is retained and modified throughout the home. Cantilever timbers permit a shaded, trellised balcony, with a view unobstructed by posts.
