Today’s homify story takes us into an old Victorian brick house that is located in Bickford Park, a Toronto neighborhood that has a convenient & enriching environment for raising a family. In want of a complete interior remodeling, this dwelling was given a major retrofit. Entrusted with this renovation project were the architects from SOLARES ARCHITECTURE, who through their architectural design brought together the multiple interior units into a single family home and augmented the backyard space.
In this home, optimal insulation for the retrofit has been introduced onto the exterior using a lightweight wall cladding with integrated insulation so as to maximize interior space while creating a super efficient, air-tight family home. The structural elements of this home have been re-enforced, and its energy efficiency has been enhanced while keeping its appealingly historic exterior & original charm intact.

This Victorian home boasts of a charming exterior fitting quite snugly into this neighborhood. Nevertheless, this historic home had its fair share of problems prior to the renovation. The bricks constituting the foundation were practically crumbling away, a sinking rear addition was adding to its woes, absolutely poor insulation was making matters worse and sagging, lopsided floors did the rest.
Although housing multiple problems, the architect team chose to revamp the existing house as demolishing & rebuilding a semi-attached home like this one would not have been advisable architecturally. Moreover, the resident family wished to preserve the original Victorian charm as much as possible.
