When Christopher Simmonds took on a contemporary construction project in a traditional Kitchener, Ont., neighbourhood, he got more than he bargained for from local homeowners. “The materials do a really good job of creating this ambiguity of the age of the house,” said Simmonds. With 2,770 square feet of living space, Kitchener Infill’s first floor includes the dining and living rooms, kitchen, pantry and bar. It’s a very traditional neighbourhood and the houses are all from 1920s to ’50s. It’s a very traditional neighbourhood and everything has sloped roofs.”What I wanted to build was a 2-1/2-storey house with a pitched roof.
