After six years of planning and construction, the Brunswick Lofts units are finally complete, and they're stunning.
"When I first started on this journey, it seemed to me like the perfect small conversion project. It would breathe new life into a local historical landmark and add some gentle density to the neighbourhood," said Jeff Kopas, President of Kopas Developments.It's the type of build that is desperately needed in greater numbers in Toronto, but a category of development opportunity that is often passed over due to the barriers involved.
"The building really adds to the texture of the community, as an act of preservation but also reinvention. It feels eclectic thanks to the modern intervention, which I think fits brilliantly within the context of The Annex / Harbord Village."Each of the seven units feature a main living space on the main level, complete with a custom kitchen in white oak with stone countertops, and then either one or two bedrooms upstairs.
Garden Home 5 boasts two bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs as well as a powder room on the main floor.The interior layout and material choices take inspiration from the building's historic charm, blending heritage elements like exposed brick and finely crafted carpentry.The minimalist design palette and open-concept main floor create a stylish, modern living space.
