ORANGEINK DESIGN’ S RAVINE HOUSE RENOVATION
Honored by Architizer A + Awards.
Orangeink Design, a Toronto based architecture studio specializing in residential renovations and additions, has been named the jury winner in the Residential Renovation & Addition category of the 2025 Architizer A + Awards. The project presents the firm’ s careful preservation of an existing structure alongside inventive spatial reconfiguration and site responsive interventions.
LIGHT-FILLED LIVING, INSIDE AND OUT
Located in Mississauga’ s Lorne Park neighbourhood, the project involved a 1960s four bedroom, three bathroom bungalow on a deeply treed, 105 ft by
600 ft lot. Set 250 ft from the street, and perched on a ravine’ s edge overlooking Lornewood Creek, the home originally featured low ceilings, dimly lit inward facing rooms, and an indoor pool.
Orangeink Design’ s brief called for reducing the bedrooms to three, reimagining the main level as an open plan living space, converting the lower level into a great room and fitness area, and creating both front and rear outdoor gathering spots— all within strict conservation authority guidelines that prohibited expanding the building footprint on three sides.
