Coehill Drive, Swansea, Toronto, Ontario Two Storey Back Deck

Basement addition and walkout, and 2 storey back deck over the basement with stairs.

The two upper level decks have a new exterior doorway at each new deck level into the existing house at each floor above grade.

This project is in the Bloor West/Swansea/High Park Area. Overlooking Catfish (or the West Pond).

Close to Grenadier Pond that is at High Park.

This project required Committee of Adjustment and Building Permit. Both were obtained.

The contractor selected by the owner was not the greatest.

Even with a deck you need someone who knows how to construct.

Deck is attached to existing triplex (3 separate apartments).

Staircase of the decks serves as access, and additional exit, for all 3 floors.

There is a parking lot and garage beyond (behind where the picture was taken from)

and stairs also serve as direct access to tenants cars.

Behind the parking lot and garage there is a beautiful yard with huge old trees,

a ravine and Catfish pond that leads up to Rennie Park and borders with Ellis Ave and

Grenadier Pond at High Park.

I am surprised the city inspector did not raise concerns on the contractors work vs the approved permit drawings.
