Daylight, and a Concrete Floor
Lynn Gaffney: A concrete floor with radiant heat is a very comfortable and energy-efficient way to heat a home, and doesn’t use up wood or other materials for flooring.

Excellent job A pleasure to see small bits of our heritage saved and built upon for future generations. Good Save. The artisan touch accenting the disciplines of Architecture is inspirational. Thank you Congratulations to the entire team!
the sun screens are very bold, and the stamping/writing on the concrete really give it the type of personal edge that so many people talk about. Well done!
House looks great. Well done!
FABULOUS! The meshing between Heritage, Nouveau and Personal were brought together seamlessly while keeping the design green. A “tour de force” often overlooked and overshadowed by esthetic.
The integration of the wood elements with the concrete is great.
Nice to see a sustainable project that seems to be more about a real belief in lessoning ones impact on the environment, caring for how precious real materials are, and respecting history. Doing this while also creating a special piece of expressive Architecture that’s less about fads and trends and more about people coming together to create something special
It's inspiring to see client and architect work collectively with art and architecture to merge ideas and transform a tired old building into an important vibrant piece of work.
Wonderful and successful project ! And a great story, as well.
It's a home with a soul. Very inspirational!
Who knew that the outside of a building could become an artist's canvas? It is a beautifully unique home with amazing detail and true ingenuity. Love the wooden terrace and the sunflowers. Well done.
It's not often you see a building project that possess so many qualities. Beautiful architecture, dynamic imagery, personal expression, concern for the environment and social comment. Bravo!
Absolutely amazing transformation!
Chris and Oresta, I love what you done with the place! Seriously, your vision has turned the building into a tasteful and very impressive monument for the city. Cheers.
Congratulations! So glad you are getting this much deserved publicity. Love the sunflowers too. Brings me right back to the work you did that attracted me first to you and your art. I hope others will be inspired to let you loose on their homes! marilyn martin
Finally a project from Ottawa :) I am so glad to see this project on DWELL. It's a fabulous building. I discovered it by a couple months ago and just had to stop and take pictures. The engraving give the building such great personality. Great team work between the clients and the architect! I hope to see more inspiring projects like these in Ottawa.
An innovated and subtle modern design that brought the wonderfull life stories of residents past together. A wonderful change from the repetitive cookie mold housing projects. Congrats on a job WELL done!!!
Great Article Griff! A project this unique and inspirational deserves special recognition, and I have to say "Griff...you deserve alawwwtta credit"
Everytime I see this house I go : WOW!!! It is amazing! A must see!
An amazing renovation! Wonderful to see something so beautiful, historical, original and green.
I have seen this project in real life and it is very impressive; it evokes undeniable emotion.
Andrew Reeves does really amazing work.
This is very inspiring work, Andrew. You have a great team working for you. Don't ever give up.
Amazing what a drab old building can turn into when you apply the right ingredients...Architect, Artist, Ingenuity, Environmental Responsibility, Style, Talent...
It's amazing when two visions come together (Andrew and Christopher) that a piece of history can be restored for another generation to enjoy. Well done.
I have the great pleasure of driving by this home every day on my way to work. What a joy! Congratulations Christopher - thank you for sharing your work with our community in the form of this project and kudos to the builder for keeping an open mind.
I've had the pleasure of 'experiencing' several of this up and coming architect's work - this is yet another great example of how his passion for architecture can inspire us all.
Congrats to you on celebrating the past, mixing it with the present and wishing it onto the future :) It is truly an artistic vision
Bravo on this latest work of art. I'm sure that it will inspire many, as your work in our home inspires us daily. Look forward to seeing it in person someday.
Congratulations on a truely inspired work. This City would do very well to see more of the creativity and innovation that 'Egravings' has injected into the neighbourhood.
More of this! Ottawa, like many northern cities, is full of uninspired "blank" commercial properties (storefronts, offices, badly-converted residential buildings) that cry out for this kind of breakthrough thinking. >Hello Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton; greetings Syracuse, Scranton, Harrisburg.< This clever redesign & rebuild is an excellent example of what can be done to create beauty in the midst of ugly.
Kudos on successfully integrating so many elements in such a unique and effective manner. What a fabulous transformation!
excelent job u have done too the house. very artistic, and thats what most architects are missing now a days. very impressed
keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks -------------------- House Help Desk
It's great to see the interest in home histories such as this. We have recently launched an online community dedicated to the research and sharing of home histories. I invite you to check it out, join in (it's free) and add a home or two from your family tree: http://www.historyofhomes.net/ http://historyofhomes.wordpress.com/
I am a big supporter of remodeling, having done a few myself and believing that we need to work with what we have instead of always taking up more land with new construction. It's imperative we make old buildings efficient and eco-friendly when we are revamping them. Bravo to this couple and the contractors and architects that were willing to step outside their comfort zones.
