Renovations to the main floor, including a new open-concept layout, modern kitchen, and reconfigured dining area, breathed new life into this Runnymede home. Freeing the floor plan from partitions and radiators, it became apparent that the space would be better served by extending the existing awkwardly ‘L’ shaped addition across the whole rear of the house, adding 6’ of length. This extension allowed for better room proportions, the island to extend to 11’ and double bi-parting doors to flood the space with light. A dropped bulkhead, coat closet and servery are aligned with the stair creating a natural divider of functional space while maintaining spatial flow between the entry Foyer/Dining area at the front, with the large Kitchen/Family space at the rear.
Working with the Lynch and Comisso was an exceptional experience. They brought to the project a unique combination of skill sets, not only architecture but also design guidance and lighting expertise. Their professionalism combined with an ability to listen to us as a client and understand our lifestyle and priorities created a phenomenal space that worked within our budget.
We were impressed by Lynch + Comisso’s work at a friend’s renovated home, and they highly recommended them to us. We worked with Mary Ellen, who was an excellent listener. After one meeting where we outlined our rather vague renovation requirements, she came back with a series of designs that blew us away. She proposed design elements and use of space that we would have never imagined ourselves. As a result, we now have a better floor plan layout, more light, and gracious design elements such as our island and wooden shelving. Mary Ellen also gave us the confidence to choose unique tiles. She is kind, professional, and has an excellent sense of design and how families use space. Additionally, she attracted excellent people onto her team – the general contractor we worked with and all the trades were also kind, professional, and skilled. We would highly recommend Lynch + Comisso to anyone considering a renovation.
