Bloor West Condo Renovation

This full-suite renovation reimagines modern comfort through warm materials, soft neutrals, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Our Clients

Wen Paula and Dean decided to downsize from the family home they were looking for a space to accommodate their stuff and be close to family. This gem of a condo came on the market and they couldn’t pass it up. A truly unique building inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water, it’s situated in the heart of Bloor West and surrounded by nature.

But the condo hadn’t been touched in decades. The kitchen was completed closed in on all sides and the bathrooms were really out of date. The upside, though, was all of the natural light that pours in from floor to ceiling windows.

What we did

The main priority with this condo was to open up the kitchen to the rest of the main living space. The existing kitchen was a narrow galley style completely enclosed with walls and doors. The storage was limited and wasn’t taking advantage of the abundance of natural light.

A new custom kitchen was installed complete with large island. The owners decided to forgo upper cabinets which keeps a sense of lightness to the space.

Both bathrooms were very dated and received major upgrades. The entrance and dining spaces were fitted out with custom cabinetry to provide ample extra storage and to add a touch of elegance.

Project Challenges

Aside from access to the unit, which is a challenge with all condos, the biggest obstacle is having to work with the existing service locations. Structural changes are not allowed and since the plumbing drains, water pipes and electrical feeds come through the concrete slab (both floor and ceiling) we were limited on what layout changes could be done.

With some creative design we were able to work around a structural column and some wire feeds coming through the ceiling.
