276 Ellis Ave.

This new detached dwelling occupies a thin and long ravine lot adjacent to a city park. The building shares a basic massing with other houses on the street but with more contemporary detailing and materiality. The limited width of the lot after required setbacks influenced the final interior configuration with the dining, kitchen and family rooms located on the ground floor and the living room with terrace on the second floor. The abundant windows and terrace at this level offer higher and long range views over the ravine and park beyond. Two bedrooms are located on the second floor with another three being arranged on the third floor. Insulated concrete form walls and clear span manufactured floor joists were employed in the construction.
