Drew Mandel Architects overhauls and expands historic Toronto home
A shingle-clad addition is meant to mimic the scale and massing of a 1920s landmarked home, revamped by Canadian studio Drew Mandel Architects.
The project, House on Bracondale Hill, is named after its location in Toronto s Bracondale Hill neighbourhood – one of the city s earliest garden suburbs.

The project entailed the renovation and expansion of a Georgian Revival-style house dating to 1924. The clients, a family of five, desired a brighter and more spacious home that accommodated a contemporary lifestyle.
Because the brick building is listed on the city s historic register, its entrance facade had to be preserved.
