Their plan was to build their family's dream home on the site. To bring this vision to life, they commissioned architect Marcos Fossati, a childhood friend of the couple. "They asked for a modern, comfortable, airy house with a garden," says Fossati. "To make the most of the small lot and design a fully customized home for them and their two children, we had to demolish almost the entire existing structure, preserving only the porch, which is a protected heritage feature," he adds.
