Built in 1858, the Captain G.E. Morden House was designed by John Triller Howell in the Ontario Gothic Revival style with a rectangular two-and-a-half storey masonry structure that bears unique floor-to-ceiling windows on the structure’s principal facade. The original structure was reinforced and relocated on to a new foundation, positioned further south on the site, reinforcing its historic relationship to the street.
Set behind the original structure, the new addition forms a visually compatible backdrop that is subordinate to the heritage home. Its design drew inspiration from the heritage characteristics of the original house, including gable ends, dormer windows and similarly angled pitched roofs.
Design development and construction drawings were produced in Revit which allowed the small team to produce several design options, generate renderings and efficiently coordinate drawings.
