House in Schaerbeek underwent a comprehensive transformation by hé! architectuur to meet the owners’ desire for a raw, ‘unfinished’ aesthetic and better use of space.

Pocket Laneway House: A Lunar-Lander in Toronto

Pocket Laneway House rises up and over a carport, clad in shiny corrugated galvalume and propped partly by a V-configured steel column on helical piers.

Architect Charles A. Marsh Jr. and builder Tom Paulsen crafted the Alden Mason House in 1958 as a Northwest Mid-Century Modern retreat.
