taking over the porch

A small bedroom was transformed into a large bright room by taking over a former closed-in porch. This modification required the removal of 3.5 m of exterior brick wall, supporting the wall above with structural steel, levelling, reinforcing and tieing the floor structure together, insulating, finishing etc. Here you see the new solid stained birch floor that tied together the new space. 

dream travertine master bath

A couple approached me to completely renovate the master bath in their 100-year old house. Needless to say, the floor was badly out-of-level, there was some moisture damage and rot in the wall behind the old tub and the space felt cramped. To make the bathroom feel more spacious, I demolished the low ceiling and created a cathedral ceiling with an opening skylight and pushed out one wall to create a built-in storage unit. The tub was replaced with a custom walk-in travertine shower, worthy of a spa.
