Project Lake is a comprehensive renovation that revitalizes a classic home by seamlessly blending contemporary amenities with its traditional charm. The project reimagines the kitchen into a spacious area complete with a fully equipped butler's pantry featuring modern plumbing. By removing walls between the dining and living rooms, the design fosters an open-plan living space that enhances connectivity and comfort. The primary bedroom is expanded into a luxurious suite with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, while the existing bathroom is adapted into a powder room. Complying with heritage preservation codes, the front porch remains untouched, maintaining the home's original façade.

The interior redesign focuses on optimizing space and natural light. Relocating the stairwell to the former sunroom frees up space for the extended kitchen and pantry, and allows for elegant cabinetry and a TV unit beneath the new stairs. Corner-less bi-folding doors connect the kitchen and dining area to the deck, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow. Strategic window placements capture breezes from all directions, promoting natural ventilation. Downstairs, a new bedroom is added beneath the butler's pantry, and existing spaces are reconfigured for better functionality. Original features like windows, doors, and ceiling details are preserved, honoring the home's historical character while introducing contemporary comforts.
