Project Overview
At PES Associates, we specialize in transforming unused spaces into functional, code-compliant living environments. This project showcases a complete basement transformation, designed and engineered to meet the Ontario Building Code (OBC) standards for a secondary dwelling unit.
Design Approach
We began by analyzing the existing layout to optimize the flow and functionality of the space. The new design introduced two bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a full bathroom, and a comfortable living area, all while maintaining proper egress, ventilation, and fire separation. Our engineers carefully balanced structural and architectural considerations, ensuring safety, comfort, and compliance with city by-laws.
Key Highlights
- Code-compliant secondary suite design
- Integration of architectural, structural, and mechanical layouts
- Space optimization for rental and family use
- Full city permit approval and documentation support
- High-quality 3D renderings for client visualization
Result
The basement was successfully approved and transformed into a bright, functional, and income-generating living space — a true example of how PES Associates brings design, compliance, and practicality together.
