At Family Home Designers & Builders, we understand a family home is where life truly happens—where your kids play, where holiday feasts are shared, and where love and laughter thrive. When this growing family of four, plus two dogs, found themselves cramped in an old brick house, they knew it was time for a major renovation. The kids were sharing a room, there was no dedicated office space, and ongoing issues with mould and dampness made daily life uncomfortable.

From Narrow & Outdated to Open & Inviting:
A 1940s Brick Home Transformation
When a home begins to feel more like a squeeze than a sanctuary, it’s a sure sign that change is overdue—especially for this growing family of four and their two dogs.
- We relocated the kitchen to the family room at the rear of the house—complete with an island bench, plenty of cupboards, and a spacious open-plan design.
- A new set of bifold doors now connects the indoors to a covered back deck, giving this family ample room for year-round entertaining.
- To address storage needs, we added a double carport under a unified roof, plus new cabinetry and closets throughout.
- By taking advantage of the home’s attic, we crafted a dreamy parents’ retreat featuring a master bedroom, ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and private balcony. This allowed the downstairs bedrooms to become havens for the kids, who finally have separate spaces to call their own.
- Overall, the entryway was widened, a dedicated home office was carved out of the former basement storage room.
- The house’s outdated exterior was refreshed with a new roof, contemporary rendered finish, skylights, and a welcoming porch. Now, the first impression is one of warmth and modern elegance.
