The project

Joanne Myers Architect reworked this Toronto bungalow, once split into two units for two sisters, for one sister's son and his young family. The family needed space, and the original owner wanted privacy and her own art studio.

A small addition, set back to protect the mid-century street front, adds two bedrooms and a bathroom. A bright new eat-in kitchen with a built-in breakfast nook became the heart of family life. It was completed in 2021.
