The project
The B.AM House builds on the 1950s low-cost house plans of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, which were designed to grow with their owners. 25:8 Architecture + Urban Design added a new kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms for the family.
The original A-frame roofline was kept and extended front and back into a cape that shelters new porches. New upstairs bedrooms sit under dormers with large windows, filling the small rooms with daylight. The house is clad in economical, robust white corrugated metal.
