103 Dupont Street Toronto, Ontario

An existing semi-detached townhouse was renovated to provide office space for one of Canada's leading graphic design firms, Kramer Design Associates Limited.
The playful street elevation, consisting of coloured metal window frames and a canopy against a background of stamped corrugated aluminum panels, represents the design firm as creative, bold, outspoken, and able to communicate simply and clearly. The principle elements of the neighbouring buildings - small upper storey window, second storey bay window, and entrance canopy - are interpreted in a modern idiom, placing the renovated office within the context of the neighbourhood while making a new statement.
The cost of construction was $700 m2 ($65 psf).
