We’re cover models!  Check out the September ‘26 issue of Neighbours of High Park & Roncesvalles Magazine — yup, that’s indeed Chris Phillips and Yvonne Bambrick on the cover!  We’re honoured to be featured this month in a story that highlights our combined community work over the years.  Also appearing in the same issue is Chris’ article “The Myth of the Master Builder”, where Chris highlights the need for collaboration amongst a variety of experts to achieve success in high performance renovations and retrofits.

Phase Two of our Upper Beaches deep energy retrofit is complete! We announced the start of this phased project at the end of August last year and, once the snow disappeared to give us unfettered access to the side walkway, the extension of the exterior insulation and cladding was able to happen. The result is seamless: completing an exterior transformation that we completed way back in 2014 (Phase One) with a large front dormer addition and partial exterior retrofit. In Phase Two, during the winter months, our team worked in the main floor and basement of this home to continue the air barrier and interior insulation work we began 12 years ago, upgrading the windows with and , and completely transforming the main floor, the stairs to the second floor, and the entryway into the home. Our Upper Beaches Phased Retrofit may not be the largest or most glorious of our projects, but the result is a much more functional main floor space and substantial savings on future energy bills. Could there be a Phase Three in the offing 12 years hence, sometime in 2038? Hmmm...

Yowza! Our Caledonia-Fairbank addition and low carbon deep energy retrofit project has once again been recognized for its excellence! Today, at the , our project — entitled “Beyond Green: Urban Resilience for a Multi-generational Home”, was awarded “Best Innovative Renovation of the Year”. Kudos, once again, to our awesome clients, our deeply committed team, and the array of trades and specialists who worked collaboratively to make this project such an enormous success.

Project architect, Terrell Wong and Chris Phillips, owner/green building designer at Greening Homes, have taken this special project on tour with a speaking circuit catered to a wide range of audiences, including (December 2025), (March), with Passive Buildings Canada, and the Ontario Natural Building Coalition Conference/AGM (both in April).
