This multi-unit apartment project on Clouston Ave in York, Toronto was designed and completed with full permit approvals for a three-unit residential dwelling.
Cadaxx Design managed every stage—from zoning review and concept layouts to BCIN-stamped permit drawings and coordination with structural and HVAC engineers.
The project demonstrates how smaller Toronto lots can accommodate additional residential units while maintaining neighbourhood character, providing modern, efficient housing that meets current Ontario Building Code and multiplex standards.

Project Overview
The Clouston building includes three self-contained apartments with open-concept living areas, full kitchens, and independent mechanical systems.
The design focuses on maximizing natural light and ventilation within a compact footprint, while providing privacy and efficient circulation. The balanced façade and durable materials help integrate the new structure into the existing York streetscape.
Zoning & Permit Coordination
Cadaxx Design completed a full zoning review under Toronto’s multiplex housing regulations to confirm compliance with height, setbacks, and lot coverage.
Our team prepared architectural, structural, and HVAC drawings, submitted to the City, and addressed examiner comments promptly.
The project received permit approval without delay and proceeded smoothly to construction.
Construction Status
Completed – permit approved and construction finalized.
Timeline: approximately 9 weeks from submission to approval.
Each apartment features bright, open interiors with modern finishes and practical layouts.
The spaces are designed for comfort and efficiency, with large windows, durable flooring, and neutral colour palettes.
Independent HVAC systems and sound-insulated walls ensure privacy and energy-efficient living for each resident.

Can I convert my home into multiple units?
Yes—Toronto’s multiplex by-laws allow up to four units per lot; we confirm compliance before design begins.
