Bathurst St

The Bathurst St, Toronto project combined a cathedral ceiling transformation on the second floor with structural basement reinforcement, creating a fully integrated multi‑level structural upgrade. The second floor originally looked like a “forest of wood studs,” with no openness and no architectural flow. Our team removed the unnecessary structural clutter, sistered the roof joists, redesigned the load paths, and converted the space into a clean, open‑concept layout with high cathedral ceilings, dramatically improving both the aesthetics and the structural performance of the home.

At the same time, the basement structural work ensured that the new second‑floor loads were properly supported from the foundation up. We prepared the structural drawings, obtained the building permit, and completed all work in full compliance with City requirements. By integrating engineered components across both levels — including the reinforced roof structure — we delivered a coordinated structural system that brought modern openness to an older Toronto home.
