In collaboration with the National Capital Commission (NCC), a group of Carleton University architecture students have studied the residence of 24 Sussex Drivehouse and created a series of preliminary designs.
As the official residence of the country’s Prime Minister, the house has been open to renovation or replacement since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose not to live there when he was first elected in 2015.
The residence is designated a Classified Federal Heritage Building for its association with the 11 Prime Ministers who have lived there since it was acquired in 1951. Before them, it was home to three of Ottawa’s lumber barons.
