Originally constructed in the 1950’s as part of a large planned subdivision of one, one and a half, and two storey homes by the Shipp Corporation, this home was similar to most others in the neighbourhood; a simple “salt box” building form with an attached single car garage. However, the owners’ plans were aggressive. The program called for a doubling of floor area while maintaining and respecting the low scale character of the home. The result is a success story that has redefined how similar homes in the neighbourhood are updated.
