Large Scale Renovations in Toronto

Transform your older home into a modern, functional space—without sacrificing its charm.

At Urban Studio, we specialize in major home renovations in Toronto, breathing new life into aging homes while preserving the unique character that makes them special. Whether you’re reconfiguring the interior layout, upgrading outdated systems, or improving energy efficiency, our full-service design-build team is here to guide you every step of the way.

With over a decade of experience renovating homes in Midtown, East York, and older Toronto neighbourhoods, such as Leslieville, Riverdale, Leaside, and Davisville Village. We understand the complexities that come with Toronto’s older properties—and how to transform them to meet the needs of modern family living.

A Design-Build Process That Works

Our integrated, in-house team of architects, engineers, designers, and project managers works together under one roof. From the initial design consultation to securing city permits, managing trades, and completing construction, Urban Studio handles every phase of the renovation, eliminating the need for outsourcing or unreliable subcontractors.

Our all-inclusive approach means:

One point of contact from start to finish
Clear, consistent communication throughout the project
Full control over quality, timelines, and costs
Reduced risk of delays, surprises, or miscommunication

Renovations That Improve the Way You Live

We start by working with you to understand your vision, lifestyle, and goals for the space. Once the design is finalized, we’ll handle all zoning research, prepare and submit permit applications, and schedule construction in a way that keeps the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you and your family.

Whether you’re updating a single floor or undertaking a full home transformation, our work often includes open-concept living and kitchen redesigns, strategic interior reconfigurations to improve layouts, underpinning and finishing basements, and carefully coordinated structural changes and energy-efficient upgrades. Throughout the process, we focus on integrating high-end finishes that balance form and function, ensuring the final result is not only visually refined but practical, durable, and built to serve your family for years to come.

Custom Cabinetry & Millwork: The Foundation of a Thoughtful Renovation

Custom cabinetry and millwork are often the defining elements of a major renovation. More than just storage, they shape how a space functions, feels, and flows. From kitchens and built-ins to closets, mudrooms, and feature walls, well-designed millwork brings clarity and cohesion to the home—turning everyday spaces into highly functional, refined environments.

At Urban Studio, custom cabinetry is designed as an integral part of the overall architectural vision, not an afterthought. Our design team carefully considers proportions, circulation, materials, and detailing to ensure each piece feels intentional and seamlessly integrated into the home. Our integrated design-build approach allows us to coordinate design details and finishes early in the process, ensuring functionality, accuracy, consistency, and long-term durability. The result is custom millwork that elevates the entire renovation—beautiful, practical, and built to stand the test of time.
