DRIFT
This Pickering duplex conversion transformed the unfinished basement of a recently built home into a fully independent rental unit. The project included a separate entrance, independent hydro and electrical systems, and a separate water system to create a self-sufficient secondary suite with privacy for both the homeowners and tenants.
PROJECT TYPE
LOCATION
Our first-time homeowner clients purchased a newly built home (within the last 5 years) during a market downturn, purchasing at a favourable price as some investors exited the market. The Pickering property included a completely empty basement, offering a blank canvas for development.
We transformed the basement into a fully independent, low-maintenance rental unit featuring:
Separate entrance
Independent hydro and electrical system
Separate water system
The unit is fully self-sufficient, allowing tenants no interaction with the homeowners, while ensuring privacy and convenience.
Due to the property being a recently constructed new build, the renovation adhered to higher building code standards and regulations. Additionally, the property bordered the Toronto Conservation Region Improvement Area (TCRIA), which required careful compliance with local building guidelines.
