In partnership with a local developer, this project transformed a small 800 sq. ft. bungalow into a modern, three-storey duplex designed for flexibility and long-term value.
The Challenge
The property presented a few key constraints:
- A narrow lot in an emerging neighbourhood
- A limited budget
- The need to maximize both livable space and market appeal
The goal was to create a high-impact design that would stand out—without overbuilding.
Our Approach
We focused on smart, efficient design to unlock the full potential of the site.
- Expanded the home to approximately 3,000 sq. ft. across multiple levels
- Designed a flexible duplex layout to suit a wide range of occupants
- Planned for a future garden suite, allowing for additional density and value
To bring light into the narrow space, we used:
- Large windows throughout
- Strategically placed skylights
This helped transform what would typically feel like a tight footprint into a bright, open environment.
The Result
The finished project is a clean, modern infill development that balances design, functionality, and cost.
It delivers strong visual impact and practical layouts—while staying aligned with the developer’s budget and long-term investment goals.
