Lakeshore Commons
Turning an old warehouse into livable apartments isn't easy, but man, was it worth it. We kept the exposed brick and those massive timber beams - felt wrong to cover that history up. Added floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lake, because why wouldn't you?

Rosedale Family Home
Young family with three kids needed more space but loved their neighborhood too much to move. We went vertical - added a second story that looks like it was always there, and reorganized the main floor to actually flow. Kitchen's now the heart of the house, just like they wanted.
