The Whittier Project
- Lakeside upgrade
- Refined character
- Performance-focused
This project was a lakeside exterior renovation completed through a collaborative design process with the homeowners. Using Hardie Plank fiber cement siding at the ground level and Hardie board-and-batten cladding on upper façades and the garage, all installed over added polyisocyanurate exterior insulation, the home received a durable, energy-efficient exterior that enhances curb appeal while respecting its original character.
How it was Before
- Stucco exterior
- Limited insulation
- Dated appearance
Before renovation, the home was clad in stucco with minimal thermal performance and an exterior aesthetic that no longer reflected the homeowners’ vision. The existing finish limited both energy efficiency and curb appeal, creating an opportunity for a substantial performance and visual upgrade.
The Outcome
- Improved efficiency
- Strong curb appeal
- Thrilled homeowners
The finished exterior features a balanced mix of horizontal and vertical fiber cement siding, carefully aligned transitions, and a refined colour palette well suited to the lakeside setting. With added insulation and precise detailing throughout, the renovation delivered a dramatic transformation in both appearance and performance — resulting in homeowners who are extremely satisfied with the outcome.

The Airdrie Project
This project was a complete front-façade transformation designed to maximize curb appeal and long-term value. Using Hardie board-and-batten and Hardie Plank fiber cement siding, paired with custom heavy-gauge steel fascia and parapet capping, we delivered a modern, high-performance exterior that looks premium today and is built to last — exactly what the homeowners were looking for.
The Carlaw Project
This project delivered a contemporary modular exterior using Hardie fiber cement architectural panels, Agway NS-25 standing seam metal wall and roof panels, and thermally modified CFP White Ash wood accents. Installed over a fully wrapped building envelope incorporating Blueskin air/vapour barrier and Rockwool Comfortboard 80 exterior insulation, the design balances crisp modern forms with warm natural textures for long-term performance and architectural impact.
The Dufferin Project
This project involved the construction of a highly detailed laneway suite wrapped in corrugated steel wall and roof panels, complemented by perforated corrugated steel accents, custom marine-grade aluminum window shrouds, aluminum soffit panels, and commercial-style metal rainware. Built over a high-performance wall assembly incorporating Blueskin air/vapour barrier and Rockwool exterior insulation, the result is a durable, modern structure that delivers commercial-grade performance in a compact residential form.
