Project 514
Rethinking what apartment living can be.
Project 514 began with a question: if Toronto is serious about retaining growing families in the urban core, and offering something meaningful to downsizers who don't want to leave the city, what would happen if an existing apartment were rebuilt with the same level of thought, investment, and permanence typically reserved for a house?
Designed by Stephanie Carron Design, the apartment was stripped to its concrete structure and rebuilt from the ground up. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, lighting, storage, acoustics, circulation, and privacy were all reconsidered.
The goal was not simply a beautiful renovation, but a home that could compete with houses on the things that matter most: natural light, privacy, quiet, generous spaces, storage, the ability to entertain, and the flexibility to support long-term living.
