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.
