How Atelier SUN Transformed a 1980s Builder Home with Warm Millwork and Natural Materials
By
Erin Miller
Summary
Design firm Atelier SUN transformed a dated 1980s builder home in Ajax, Canada, into a warm, modern space called Harty House. The renovation embraced the home's original bulky columns and beams rather than fighting them, using custom millwork and natural materials to simplify the interior while adding practical storage. The open-plan living area was reshaped with smart millwork solutions that work with the existing structure.
