Cadaxx Design managed a complete interior alterations permit for a home on Barrymore Rd in Scarborough, Toronto.
Our BCIN-licensed team provided full design, permit drawings, and coordination with the City of Toronto to ensure fast approval under the Ontario Building Code.
The project included a full interior reconfiguration, wall removals, layout improvements, and basement updates to create a more open and functional living space. We worked closely with the homeowners to refine every detail — from space planning to finishes — while ensuring all changes complied with structural and zoning requirements.
Cadaxx handled the entire process from initial consultation to permit approval, allowing the client to move forward with construction confidently and efficiently.

The Barrymore Rd renovation transformed a dated layout into a modern, welcoming home. Custom millwork, warm white walls, and dark accents create contrast and depth. The open living area and redesigned entryway improve natural light, flow, and storage — showcasing Cadaxx’s expertise in functional yet elegant interior transformations.
The property was completely outdated and required a full remodel. The main floor features light flooring and dated floral wallpaper. The bathroom has an old sliding glass tub enclosure and a sickly yellowish-green color palette. The basement is partially finished with a mix of damaged drop ceiling tiles, exposed utilities (wiring, ductwork), pink-painted block walls, and old carpeting, suggesting moisture risk and lack of modern code compliance.
