Our ‘marching orders for this challenging, down-sloping property were to bring the main level footprint raised up to street level and close to the street and to design a lower level living area that didn’t feel like a basement.

We decided on a prairie-style look, with broad roof overhangs and lots of light, an optimum low-profile solution for this lot.

The main level comfortably accommodates a flexible living area, master bedroom and den, and rear deck. The lower level opens to a large rear yard and includes two bedrooms and a generous family area.
