Modernizing a Century-Old Home: Charity and Jason’s Experience

Project Description

Located in Kitchener, Charity and Jason’s century home needed an upgrade to better suit their family’s needs. After choosing to partner with us, we helped revitalize their space while preserving its historical integrity.

Challenges


Charity and Jason’s home, rich with history, came with a unique set of challenges. The attic was initially unusable, and the main floor layout didn’t meet the functional needs of their active family. Their goal was to transform these spaces into comfortable, practical areas without compromising the home’s character.
‍

With a clear goal of converting the attic into a functional primary suite and redesigning the main floor for modern living, we began transforming their home into a space that blends heritage with everyday comfort.

Challenges

Wendy and Don have cherished their home in the Victoria Park neighbourhood since 1979. As the years passed, they faced the challenge many homeowners encounter: adapting their beloved home to meet their evolving needs as they age. They wanted to ensure they could continue enjoying their home and neighbourhood without the limitations caused by conventional home layouts that aren't designed for reduced mobility.

Identifying the Need for Change

The realization came when they noticed that their home lacked essential features like a ground-floor bathroom, and the steps and doorways could potentially become obstacles. They saw friends and family struggle with similar issues and decided proactive changes were needed to make their home more accessible.

Homeowner's Needs

Their primary goal was to remodel their home to be completely accessible, incorporating features that would allow them to age in place comfortably. This included wider doorways, deletion of all steps, and the addition of necessary amenities on the ground floor to accommodate potential future mobility needs.
