Toronto renovations

Whole homes, semis, townhouses, condos, kitchens and bathrooms across Toronto — every scope, delivered to the same high-end standard. Scroll slowly; the work is in the details.

Midtown penthouse living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Toronto skyline and CN Tower
Double-height King West loft with exposed brick, industrial windows and a white marble kitchen

Midtown Penthouse

Midtown Full renovation

Floor-to-ceiling glass pulls the skyline into the living room, so the palette stays quiet — pale stone, soft textiles, low furniture that never competes with the view. The CN Tower becomes the artwork; everything else is a frame.

King West Loft

King West Full renovation

A double-height brick shell softened with a white marble kitchen and black industrial windows. The volume does the talking, so the materials stay restrained: brick, steel, stone, light.

Yorkville condo dining area with sculptural glass partition and terracotta dining chairs
Bright CityPlace one-bedroom with white kitchen, island seating and frosted sliding partition

Yorkville Two-Bed

Yorkville Kitchen + baths

A sculptural glass partition divides dining from living without closing off the light. Terracotta chairs warm up the neutral base — a small, confident hit of colour in an otherwise calm suite.

CityPlace One-Bed

CityPlace Flooring + paint

A bright, hard-working one-bedroom: white kitchen with island seating, frosted sliders that borrow light for the bedroom, and finishes chosen to make a compact plan feel twice its size.

Modern renovated bathroom in a Liberty Village condo suite with stone tile, floating oak vanity, brass fixtures and glass shower
Fort York condo kitchen with marble island, leather bar stools and olive cabinetry

Liberty Village Suite

Liberty Village Bathroom

The bathroom gets the full treatment — large-format stone, a floating oak vanity with vessel sinks, brushed brass fixtures, and a frameless glass shower. Small room, no compromises.

Fort York Kitchen

Fort York Kitchen

Olive cabinetry grounds a marble island built for gathering, with leather bar stools softening the stone. Warm metals and a moody green — a kitchen with a point of view.

Modern detached custom home at dusk with wood siding, dark brick, floor-to-ceiling glass and landscaped front yard
Modern open-concept living room with double-height ceiling, white oak floors, sculptural fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows

Lawrence Park Contemporary

Lawrence Park Custom home build

Wood siding and dark brick stack into clean, flat-roofed volumes, glowing from within at dusk. Floor-to-ceiling glass dissolves the ground floor into the landscaped front yard.

Kingsway Modern

Kingsway Whole-home renovation

A double-height living room organized around a sculptural fireplace — plaster curves against white oak floors and walls of glass. The kitchen sits quietly in the background, part of the same open volume.

Modern kitchen in a renovated semi-detached home with walnut cabinetry, marble waterfall island and brass fixtures

Leslieville Semi

Leslieville Full renovation

Walnut cabinetry and a waterfall marble island bring warmth and weight to the semi's narrow footprint. Brass fixtures and herringbone floors keep the detailing classic; the lines stay modern.

East York Semi

East York Second-storey addition

The original brick stays; a cedar-clad second storey grows above it with big black-framed windows. Old and new read clearly against each other — a dialogue instead of a disguise.

Modern townhouse living room with concrete-look feature wall, designer sofa and steel-and-glass staircase
Modern townhouse kitchen and dining area with matte-black cabinetry, stone dining table and pendant lighting

Canary District Townhouse

Canary District Full renovation

Concrete-look walls and a steel-and-glass stair give the townhouse an industrial edge, softened by oak floors and low, comfortable furniture. Compact, but every line is intentional.

Corktown Townhouse

Corktown Main-floor remodel

Handleless matte-black cabinetry runs the length of the main floor, broken by a stone dining table under warm pendants. An exposed steel beam nods to the building's bones.

Modern two-storey laneway suite with charred-wood cladding, glass doors opening to a deck, and garage below
Modern condo living room with floor-to-ceiling corner windows overlooking Lake Ontario

Roncesvalles Laneway Suite

Roncesvalles Laneway suite build

Charred wood cladding and a garage below, living above — the laneway suite packs a full home into a laneway footprint. Glass doors open the upper level onto a deck strung with lights.

Harbourfront Corner Suite

Harbourfront Full renovation

Corner glass frames Lake Ontario from two sides, so the interior stays minimal — light oak, sheer curtains, low furniture. The view is the finish.

Victorian brick house converted to a duplex with a modern glass and cedar rear extension
Modern two-storey garden suite with cedar siding and standing-seam metal roof set in a landscaped backyard

Davenport Duplex

Davenport Duplex conversion

A Victorian brick house converted for two households, with a glass-and-cedar rear extension adding light and space. Heritage street face, modern garden side.

High Park Garden Suite

High Park Garden suite build

Tucked into the backyard under mature trees, the garden suite pairs cedar siding with a standing-seam metal roof. Compact, quiet, and completely its own home.

What each scope actually involves

The tags under each project above — full renovation, kitchen, bathroom, flooring — aren’t marketing labels; they map to genuinely different scopes of work, different timelines, and different levels of approval. Here’s roughly what each one covers on a high-end project, and where the real craft and cost actually go.

Full renovation

Everything — layout, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical and finishes, often down to the studs. This is the scope for units that haven’t been touched since the building was built, or for owners who want to change the layout, not just refresh it.

Kitchen

Custom cabinetry, stone counters, integrated appliances and backsplash, often reworking the layout. This is where a high-end job shows — book-matched slabs, tight reveals, and venting and plumbing runs solved cleanly rather than boxed around.

Bathroom

Waterproofing, stone and tile, vanity, fixtures and ventilation. Because water is unforgiving, this is the scope where the unglamorous parts — membranes, slope, dead-level substrates — matter as much as the tile and fixtures you actually see.

Flooring & paint

The fastest, most visible refresh — new flooring (with proper underlay and acoustic detailing), a flawless paint finish and updated hardware. Often the highest-return scope for owners renovating before a sale.

Not seeing your scope above? These sixteen projects span custom home builds, whole-home renovations, semis, townhouses, laneway and garden suites, duplex conversions, and condos — from Lawrence Park to Leslieville to the Harbourfront — but every Toronto home is different, and the projects we take on next year won’t look identical to these. If you’re planning a renovation or a new build and want to know what it would look like in your space, get in touch and we’ll walk it through with you.
