This alteration modified half of a semi-detached dwelling to accommodate a family of 5, while still being sympathetic to the adjoining building.

The original enclosed balcony was demolished, opening the enlarged kitchen/family room and new deck to the north.

The existing attic space was converted to house 2 bedrooms and a study. The bathroom was relocated to the middle of the house and a second bathroom was located off the stair landing.
