This three-story house in the Riverdale neighborhood near Toronto has been renovated; gutted and fully transformed into a modern light-filled, family home for an art teacher and her family, on a very tight budget.

The architects from Post Architecture decided to incorporate modern features and colorful details into the historic structure. The result is a home that maintains a sturdy sense of history and tradition in its exterior, while opening up its walls to a sunny and bright interior. 

Let's take a look!

The exterior.

The old-fashioned character of the home is still present in the wide, double decker wooden porch and sturdy brick wall. However, the architects have some vibrant additions, the colorful door and deck chair!

Kitchen.

Dining area.

The dining area has a Scandinavian feel, with a smooth wooden table and fine white chairs. The dining room enjoys a sense of relaxation from the strip of paintings on the wall to the low rectangular window. This is one spot in the home in which the architects were able to open up the space to make it feel even more bright and airy. 

Features.

Most of the home's walls and furniture adopt light or cream tones, giving emphasis to rich, bright colors which dominate the walls. This living room offers a strong visual connection between the flowers, wall painting, and colorful throw on the couch.

Artistic and playful.

We can see the house is fluid, with open-plan living that allows easy access to the kitchen from the living area.

Bedroom.
