UserThe home’s front exterior is unassuming yet modern. Horizontal narrow windows, seemingly single story with a modest shed roof. The exterior materials bring warmth to the clean angles with barn wood shiplap siding, each a different width for texture and depth. The standing seam roof anchors the home in a rich black metal, a nod to its contemporary aesthetic. The front portico is clad with rusted core ten metal bringing another dimension to the front. The rear of the home quickly unfolds, revealing it to be a two-story home, with a walk-out basement, furnished in glass from head to toe. A stark contrast to the understated front façade.
Landmark Services IncOur clients owned a Greek Revival home in Cambridge that was becoming too small for their growing family. Instead of moving, they decided to make use of their entire basement and create a Family Room and an adjacent Projects Room/Spare Bedroom.
Finishing old basements pose several problems, chief of which is keeping the water out. So our first step was installing a waterproofing system consisting of a French drain beneath the slab and a membrane that we applied to the inside of the foundation walls.
With water taken care of, their goal of making full use of this space was a success. A cork floor, plastered walls and ceilings, some nice lighting and the space feels great.

Ashton RenovationsThis basement renovation was our third project for Sherry and Steve, having completed their kitchen and two bathrooms previously. Their home is located in Richview - Etobicoke Toronto. The area dates back to 1852 when a post office called "Richview" opened in this area. In the 1870's, it had its own school, church, and tavern. Richview had a proud farming tradition. In 1956, Richview's last dairy farm was sold to developers.
The focus of the space was to clean it up and add insulation, as it was previously poorly done. To achieve this the basement was spray foamed and included insulated floor panels and a cork floor. The entertainment unit was custom built using IKEA cabinetry. Proper lighting was also included into the scope of work.
