At Sensus, we understand that a home should be something more than a mass-produced commodity. It requires a high degree of personalized planning to ensure that all elements perfectly meet your creative and functional requirements. We pride ourselves on our method of analyzing your needs and developing innovative solutions that are precisely fitted to your lifestyle and personal taste.

Drawing on our firm understanding of large scale construction sequence, historic construction meth-ods, and our flexible structure, we have the capa-bilities to complete custom homes, renovations and additions, and historic restoration projects quickly, efficiently, and with respect for your budget. Our in-volvement throughout the design process allows us to review the plans as they are developed and pro-vide feedback about the cost and constructibility of the proposal.

Our experience in organizational design planning en-ables us to perfectly accommodate your functional and design oriented needs, while being able to effec-tively respect the infrastructural needs of your home. Through this process of early involvement in the ren-ovation, our interior design, architectural design, en-gineering, and construction divisions work together to collaboratively review your design in order to avoid future conflict.

Engineering is a responsibility that is not to be taken lightly. Our engineering firm will be able to meticulous-ly review the structural implications of our architectural design vision in order to provide innovative solutions that support project feasibility. Through our process of thorough drawings reviews, structural design develop-ment, and on-site verifications and inspection, we are able to take on even the most complicated residential design details that come our way.

The design of this contemporary home

expresses 21st century architectural trends

while also drawing influence from early

modernist and industrial architecture. Aluminum

composite panels, window louvers, and the

formed concrete exterior wall finish comfortably

coexist alongside a large multi-paned window

wall to provide the owners with a connection

to their scenic surroundings. Large accordion

window walls at the rear of the home also put

you in the heart of the action with direct views of

the surrounding ravine and conditioned outdoor

living space. Wood and copper accents are also

used to lend a sense of warmth and tactility to

the exterior.

Victorian Row House

A preliminary coloured render and floor plans of our latest project in the

historic Kensington Market area. This row-house will be underpinned to

create a basement height of 10ft, a third story addition and terrace, and

a floor layout that perfectly utilizes the narrow dimensions of the home.

Hydronic in-floor heating paired with automated lighting, heating and

A/C, cameras, and alarms will afford the owners of this luxury build a

high level of comfort in a unmatchable charming and historic area.

The largest challenge when completing a project of this nature is

maintaining the historic value of the area. We remedied this by fully

restoring the front face of the home to its original glory while transforming

the rear face and interior into a modern oasis using a master suite with

a modern clerestory addition and rooftop patio as the main architectural

feature.

This home attempts to reconcile a set of

seemingly-contradictory design goals: openness

and privacy, connectivity between defined

spaces, and efficiency despite its large size. It

resulted in an innovative and unusual floor plan

that challenges dominant trends in modern

home design.

The home features several high-efficiency

mechanical systems including hydronic in-floor

heating, rooftop solar panels, heat reclamation,

grey water reclamation, rain water harvesting,

and high-performance insulation. The green

technologies used will allow for the sustainable

operation of the home and offset the material

costs over time.

Modern Home By The Water

This lakeside home employs a modern version of

the prairie style, featuring strong horizontal lines

that run parallel to the water’s surface and link the

architecture to the surroundings. The tall central

portion of the home employs vertical elements in

order to appear more dramatic and monumental,

even though the south side of the home is only

one-and-a-half stories tall.

The property slopes gently towards the water,

so the rear walls rise a full two stories above the

terraced backyard, with more steps down toward

the water. In addition to the ample indoor living

space, the home features a sprawling terrace,

with outdoor living and dining areas as well as

an ornamental pond. A short flight to stairs leads

down to the beach.

ContemporaryMinimalist Home

The two-storey custom home brings an aging suburb

in Etobicoke a breath of new life. Instead of following a

traditional stream of design, the home carves it’s own path

as a defining example of modern architecture.

A number of features on both the interior and exterior serve

to connect nature in every space of the home including a

pond running beneath the front entrance walkway as well

as a staircase wrapped around the atrium garden that is

enclosed in floor to ceiling glass panels.
