A couple wanted to free up the home’s original two bedrooms for children and add a principal bedroom for themselves while also adding a second bathroom
The Danforth neighbourhood in Toronto runs from Broadview Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue. And with the exception of various infill buildings along the way – some quite strikingly modernist, such as No. 2944 with “New Era Appliances” still emblazoned on its west wall – most structures are from the late 1910s and early 1920s, since the building boom happened after the Prince Edward Viaduct opened in 1918.
“Because we were debating whether to do this,” says Mr. Desrosiers-Tam as he looks around his renovated and spacious living room, “or to sell and buy a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on the subway line; so there was a debate.” The family also gained some “unexpected space” says Mr. Desrosiers-Tam. While early renders of the large, ground-floor room – and it really is at ground level since Giaimo didn’t bring it up to ‘front porch level’ like the original house – showed it as a utility room with a sewing machine, it has become so much more. Here, Mr. Desrosiers-Tam, already an amateur furniture maker, is learning weaving, and there is also evidence of his other endeavours, such as quilting and fabric dyeing.
