Project brief

We redesigned a 520 sq ft downtown condo to improve flow, storage, and lighting while preserving budget-conscious, eco-friendly choices. The result: a brighter, more flexible home tailored for urban life in Canada.

  • Open-plan layout with defined zones
  • Built-in storage & fold-away furniture
  • Low-VOC paints, reclaimed wood accents, energy-efficient fixtures

FAQ

Yes — we coordinate with management and trades to secure required permits and follow building-specific rules on hours and services.

For most refresh and reconfigure packages, clients can remain in-place. Full renovations with major plumbing or floor replacements may require temporary relocation.

We reuse salvageable elements, donate or recycle materials, and source durable products to extend lifecycle and reduce replacements.
