In a very densely populated pocket in the northwest of downtown there's an unattractive through-street that was recently ranked the ugliest in Toronto. The first move on this project was to sever the lot into two 15' halves and designing distinct houses on each half.

Located in Toronto’s Leslieville nieghbourhood, House Caroline emerges as a contemporary A-framed addition to a historic 1850s Victorian home. What was once a partitioned dim residence has been transformed into an open, warm, and brilliantly illuminated sanctuary for a growing family.
