2014

LANESCAPE INFILL
39 Spruce Street

Reason for the award: The 2014 award was the first “laneway” award. This Award celebrates the modern addition to a Victorian home. It represents a trend in Cabbagetown to infill behind existing homes. The addition is contemporary but it “fits” with the older home in front. The original home is retained at the street but the infill is quietly inserted behind. The connections between the two elements of the home are very successful in that there is actually a break between them and they are accessed by a bridge on the upper levels.
