The Millworker House is a residential addition to the workshop of Toronto-based carpentry, millwork, and window company Radiant City. The client, Steve Bugler, commissioned the project as a personal residence that would take full advantage of having his workshop’s tools facilities close at hand. The final design showcases a number of the resulting custom wood elements, including a white oak feature stair and walnut millwork throughout.

The house sits on a once-neglected plot, formerly home to a steel shop, bordering Dupont and a city alleyway. The surrounding neighbourhood is a colourful urban patchwork of garages, concrete, and utility poles. This elevation, fronting the alley, features Corten steel cladding with a single high window.
