Grandview is a substantial renovation and extension to an existing heritage residence, with the new work carefully positioned behind the original home to preserve its prominence and character.

The project introduces a large contemporary addition, new upper level, garage and pool, while reworking the existing dwelling to create a more generous and connected family home. Curved forms, large openings and a restrained material palette establish a clear distinction between old and new without competing with the heritage architecture at the front.

The result is a layered residence where the original home remains the hero, while the architecture beyond opens to garden, water and a more contemporary way of living.
