​In 2025, conversations with clients
prompted a shift in focus toward Toronto’s missing middle — exploring how existing urban housing can better support households at different life stages.
Project 514 emerged from this research,
examining how underperforming condo spaces can
be reconfigured to support larger households and long-term urban living, particularly for growing families and
downsizers caught between compact condos
and detached homes.
​
The question wasn’t whether the space existed — it was whether we were willing to rethink how it’s used.
​
Completed in 2026, Project 514 demonstrates
how existing Toronto condominiums can be transformed
into family homes, reclaiming domestic scale and
moving away from generic development conventions
toward a more European sensibility,
closer to Paris or New York.
​
The 1988 low-rise building was stripped back
to bareconcrete, enabling full rerouting of plumbing,
electrical, and HVAC systems. This allowed ceiling heights to be recovered, privacy between bedrooms restored, and valuable square footage reclaimed before reconstruction began.
A fundamentally broken original floorplan —
low ceilings, poor circulation, and two bedrooms
divided by an angled glass wall — was completely reworked through strategic wall placement, soundproofed partitions,
and the removal of dropped ceilings. Nearly a foot
of ceiling height was gained across the unit.
​
Lighting became architectural: ultra-low-profile
recessed fixtures in bathrooms integrate with minimal
bulkheads, while surface-mounted lighting in main spaces preserves the raw concrete ceiling height.
​
At the heart of the apartment is a fully reimagined kitchen conceived as both a working environment and a social anchor.
Custom millwork was designed to read as architectural
rather than utilitarian, including a low, invisible 2” toe kick — a challenging detail that allows the composition to present more like furniture than conventional cabinetry.
​
The suite retains its original wood-burning fireplace,
features extensive custom millwork, and overlooks Yorkville’s largest garden, with direct access to the city
by foot, bike, transit, or car.
Projects like 514 demonstrate that increasing the diversity
of housing sizes in the city may not require starting over — but starting differently. The answer may lie within the space already built.
