Public Studio - Dundas St.
1575 Dundas is where we live. It’s a 1500 sq.ft home and studio in downtown Toronto. Originally a sheet metal shop with two residential units above, we converted the building from an industrial shop to a two-unit residential home in which we run our art and architecture practice: Public Studio.
As a live/work dwelling situated on a busy retail street, the project had many intentions: to address the public nature of living and working on an urban street, to renovate in a sustainable and cost-conscious manner, to maximize natural light within long and narrow spaces and to allow the original building to reveal itself under its contemporary transformation.
