Challenges
In the quaint Mary Allen neighbourhood, Koichi and Marguerite faced the challenge of modernizing their century-old home without losing its historical charm. Their journey with Eagleview Construction transformed their space into a functional, bright, and welcoming home tailored to their family’s unique needs.
Homeowner's Needs
The main hurdle was the home’s original layout, particularly the small kitchen that hindered family activities. They also needed to reconcile differing tastes in colour and style—Koichi preferred neutrals, while Marguerite favoured vibrant colours.

Our Approach
After choosing us for our attentive and adaptable approach, we worked closely with the couple through three design iterations to ensure every aspect of the renovation met their expectations. The process was very collaborative, focusing on striking the perfect balance between functionality and design without sacrificing the bursts of colour Marguerite loved without compromising the light, airy feel Koichi valued.
The Transformation
The renovation expanded the kitchen into a large, functional space that became the heart of the home. Big windows were installed to enhance natural lighting, complementing the Scandinavian aesthetic. The master ensuite was carefully designed to add luxury and convenience, while the children’s bedrooms were sized to ensure fairness and comfort for each child.
The Result and Impact on the Homeowners' Lives
The transformed home now beautifully balances modernity with the house’s original character. The new layout meets the family’s practical needs while creating a lively and inviting atmosphere. Marguerite’s love of colour shines throughout, adding personality to Koichi’s preference for a more neutral backdrop, making the home a true reflection of both their styles.
Conclusion
Koichi and Marguerite often recommend us to others, appreciating the personal touch we brought to their renovation. Through our supportive process, we listened and adapted to their evolving vision, resulting in a home that reflects every one of their wants. We brought their ideas to life while ensuring the home continues to meet their family’s changing needs.
