A Closer Look
The Challenge
The Challenge
Maximize natural light throughout a 1960s two-storey on a 60-foot lot, while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties and creating distinct zones for family living.
Our Approach
Our Approach
A reworked layout with large windows throughout the main floor, a bright and airy open-concept finish, strategic frosted glass for privacy, and a rooftop terrace that expands usable living space.

Transformation
Before & After
Exterior — a 1960s two-storey reimagined as a modern custom home
Main floor — a closed, compartmentalized layout opened into connected living and dining space
Living room — cozy original layout transformed into a bright, open-plan living space
Metrohomes turned our vision into reality. They listened to every detail, guided us through design decisions, and delivered a home that exceeded our expectations. The quality of craftsmanship is evident in every corner.
