​When we first stepped into this 1910 Prospect Heights townhouse, we found a structure in severe disrepair—a building that had been neglected for decades, stripped of any original detail, and barely holding itself together. But in that state of ruin, we saw extraordinary potential. With nothing but the party walls and floor beams left standing, we took this home down to its bones and rebuilt it from the inside out, creating a modern, sustainable, and highly efficient residence designed for the future.

The client envisioned a home that was simple, clean, and contemporary but also warm and energy-conscious. To bring this vision to life, we expanded the garden level, opening up the back of the house with floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing natural light to flood the interiors. The home’s energy efficiency was at the forefront of every decision we made. We installed European-style tilt-and-turn windows, specially ordered from Canada, to ensure superior insulation and noise reduction. Closed-cell foam insulation was used throughout the structure to create a high-performance thermal envelope, drastically improving indoor comfort while reducing energy waste.​​
