The site
Blake-Jones is one of Toronto's tightly built east-end streets, where every square foot has to be earned.
Working within the existing footprint’s constraints, the plan gained space outward and upward at once — a larger ground floor and raised ceilings that make the whole house read differently on entry.
The finish
Joining new to old is where an addition is won or lost.
Our philosophy is simple: perfection lies in the details. From structural precision to bespoke finishes, each stage of construction reflects an uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship and artistry.
Floor levels, ceiling planes, and material transitions were set during design so the new work reads as part of the original house rather than an appendix to it. On six months and this scale, that resolution is what separates an addition you notice from one you don’t.
The result
Six months on site, and a home that lives far larger than its numbers suggest.
The expanded footprint gave the family the room they had outgrown, while the raised ceilings changed the character of the space entirely — light reaches further, sightlines open up, and rooms that were once serviceable now feel generous. The difference is felt at the front door, before a single finish is noticed.
Projects at this scale receive the same process as our largest builds: the same drawings, the same site supervision, the same standard of finish. Scale isn’t the measure of a project — attention is. Wroxeter Ave is the proof.
