The Hambly House is a rare example of 1930s Streamline Moderne architecture in Hamilton, and one of only a handful of Art Moderne houses in Ontario. Since the purchase of the house by its new owners in 2012, DPAI worked with the clients to design a full restoration with an additional second storey wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass.

The renovation respects the original character and detailing of the designated heritage house while celebrating its contemporary spirit with a bold addition. 

The interior has been completely refinished, and clean, minimalist custom millwork was designed throughout the house. The dining room addition at the rear opens up the house to the backyard and celebrates views of the 300 year old maple tree.
