The clients came to EverOak with a challenging site — a narrow lakefront lot with a 7-metre grade change from street to shore. The design response was a three-storey structure that steps down the grade, giving each floor its own relationship with the water. Floor-to-ceiling glazing on the lake side is balanced by solid masonry on the street elevation. The build ran 16 months from permit to possession.
EverOak stripped the home to the framing, replaced the roof, windows, and all mechanical systems, and reconfigured the interior to open the main floor while adding a full primary suite above. The original walnut staircase was carefully dismantled and reinstalled after refinishing.
One bedroom, a full kitchen, and an accessible bathroom — all within the 80 m² as-of-right limit. The homeowners wanted a suite that respected the character of their 1940s neighbourhood while meeting modern energy code requirements. Board-and-batten exterior, standing-seam metal roof, covered front porch.
Lakeshore Village has strict character guidelines limiting height, massing, and materials. EverOak designed a home that references the existing Victorian and Edwardian stock on the street — brick base, covered porch, symmetrical facade — while the interior is entirely contemporary: open-plan main floor, three-car garage below grade, and a rooftop terrace with unobstructed lake views.
