Haus 46H
A 1905 Beach home was reinvented as a light-filled, energy efficient, healthy home.
Although strictly modern, the new design respectfully explores building structures and materials found in the area to complement the neighbourhood while creating a modern original with unique sculptural aesthetics.
Emphasis was also put on creating a home with technical configurations to support the well-being, as well as economical outcome, for maintaining and operating the building – to name a few: lots of natural light & cross ventilation; walls and roof with long-lasting cool, white metal panelling; breathable wall membranes; continuous insulation; HRV with air filtration; smart technologies to control lighting, heating and cooling and to monitor energy consumption.
Haus L34
Transformation of an out-dated and dysfunctional Leslieville semi-detached house into a light- and air-filled, energy-efficient modern home.
The existing house had to be almost entirely rebuilt.
A second story addition was added to create space for an additional bedroom and bathroom.
Zero79
Two light-filled modern homes on an infill lot in downtown Toronto, designed to exceed NetZero Ready standards and support sustainable and healthy living.
The building, with two 4-level residences, is heading the way amongst the few but increasing number of houses in Toronto designed to minimize the carbon footprint.
Providing modern design with clean lines, the project utilizes gentle intensification, off-site construction, all the while nurturing sustainable and healthy city living.
Expansive efforts were taken to create a highly energy-efficient building.
The result is two homes which will emit 80% fewer greenhouse gases and use 60% less energy than if the homes were constructed simply to building code standards.
Apart from energy-efficiency we also focused on providing superior indoor air quality and a healthy living environment within each residence.
Efficient, Sustainable and Healthy Urban Living
