Queen St. East, Downtown Toronto, Ontario

Queen St East Interior Renovation/Addition.

Interior Renovations and a 2-1/2 storey back addition to an existing row house on Queen St East.

All the interiors were gutted. New fire rated party walls were constructed.

Reinforcing and replacing of the existing wood frame structure was extensive.

Existing termite damage was dealt with and sprayed for, and treated wood against termites was used at certain spots.

A new two storey addition was placed on the back with a new roof deck at the 3^rd floor or ½ level.

The deck is accessed by a new stair case that was part of a replacement of all the existing stairs in the house, and skylight/dormer

placed at the top level of the new open riser staircase to allow light to pour down into the middle of the house.

The street face has existing windows revised into small double door “Juilette Balconies” as well as larger double

“french door” version juilette balconies @ the back elevation on the second level.

It also has two new bathrooms and a new kitchen.

Street view from Queen St. Excuse the garbage bins and the snow. Row house has existing north facing front.

The stone is fake, covers and hides old existing brick and a number of old sins on the exterior.
