THIS 100-YEAR-OLD HIGH PARK RESIDENCE REQUIRED A COMPLETE GROUND FLOOR OVERHAUL TO FULFILL THE OWNER'S DESIRE FOR A BRIGHT, MODERN AND FUNCTIONAL HOME. PRIOR TO THE RENOVATION THE HOUSE WAS DARK AND COLD, WITH A CRAMPED AND DYSFUNCTIONAL KITCHEN AND AN UNUSED ADDITION AT THE REAR.

STUDIO Z CREATED A LUMINOUS AND FUNCTIONAL SPACE AND INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY USING HIGH PERFORMANCE WINDOWS AND DOORS AND INSULATING ALL EXTERIOR WALLS. THE ARCHITECT'S VISION OF ACHIEVING A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT FROM THE FRONT ENTRANCE THROUGH TO THE REAR GLASS-ENVELOPED DINING AREA CREATED A FRESH AND WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE FOR THE FAMILY OF FOUR.
