Local Context
Open-Concept Renovations in Markham
What an open-concept renovation includes
Open-concept work can include load-bearing wall removal, temporary shoring, LVL or steel beam coordination, structural posts, permit drawings, ceiling repairs, HVAC rerouting, electrical changes, flooring continuity, drywall finishing, trim, lighting, and kitchen or island planning.
The best results come from solving structure and layout together. A larger opening is not automatically better if it leaves poor furniture placement, exposed posts in the wrong place, uneven flooring, or lighting that does not support the new room.
Design before demolition
Finish and layout decisions are handled early: island size, dining clearance, traffic paths, cabinet runs, appliance locations, pot-light placement, flooring transitions, ceiling lines, and how the opened space connects to the rest of the home.
In older Toronto houses, this often means respecting narrow floor plates, brick party walls, older joists, radiator or duct runs, and exterior walls that were not designed for modern open living.
Structure, permits, and consultant coordination
Openings in load-bearing walls need proper structural review. Andare coordinates the required engineer or permit professional so beam sizing, bearing points, posts, inspections, and enclosure details are resolved before demolition begins.

What Andare clients say
Andare took care of our full home renovation and addition, creating a much more open and inviting space.
The design team somehow translated my vague ideas of "big kitchen, cool bathroom" into a masterpiece.
Andare redesigned every inch of our space, and the result is absolutely stunning.
Open-Concept Renovations in Markham: what shapes the work
Markham includes heritage village areas, tech-corridor communities, newer subdivisions, townhouses, detached family homes, multi-generational households, and established areas such as Unionville, Milliken, Cornell, Berczy, Angus Glen, Wismer, Box Grove, and Markham Village. Common work includes basements, legal-suite review, second kitchens, kitchens, bathrooms, additions, custom homes, storage, home offices, exterior-sensitive renovations, and family-layout improvements.
Markham is outside Toronto, so Toronto zoning language should not be used. Markham projects need local review for zoning, permits, parking, entrances, fire separation, services, grading, trees, heritage context where applicable, and building-code requirements.
Markham homes often need planning for multi-generational use, subdivision layouts, heritage-adjacent work, and family storage. The design should solve everyday function while keeping permit and build requirements clear.
For Markham clients, Andare's design team can shape lower-level use, kitchen and second-kitchen questions, bathroom count, storage, finishes, home-office space, and consultant coordination before the construction plan is set.
Andare supports Markham homeowners across Unionville, Markham Village, Milliken, Cornell, Berczy, Angus Glen, Wismer, Greensborough, Box Grove, Cachet, Cathedraltown, and nearby family communities. Andare keeps open-concept renovations tied to the home in front of us, not a generic city-wide template.
