New Builds & Custom Home Additions Toronto
Make the most of your space with our home additions, custom homes and full home renovation services.
Should You Build Up, Out, or Custom?
Whether you’re looking up, out, or from scratch, Artycon offers three smart ways to expand your home. For families needing more room, aging parents moving in, or homeowners ready to design their forever space, we guide you through the right approach based on your lot, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
We Build Up
Ideal for growing families or multigenerational households needing more bedrooms or bathrooms without losing yard space. If you choose to build up, we’ll need to reinforce existing foundations and framing. Vertical additions however, preserve outdoor living areas and avoid grading or foundation work.
Benefits:
- Adds significant square footage without using yard space.
- Keeps outdoor living areas intact.
- Often less expensive than building out since you do not need new foundation work.
How to Choose:
- Best if your lot is small or yard space is limited.
- Requires reinforcing the existing foundation and structure.
- Consider zoning rules and height restrictions in your area.
We Build Outwards
Perfect for those with larger lots who want space on the main floor, like a kitchen expansion or living room bump-out. Home extensions in Toronto offer seamless one-level flow and easier accessibility, with fewer structural upgrades than second-floor additions. Though, yard excavation and foundation matching is required.
Benefits:
- Provides open, accessible spaces on the main floor.
- Great for expanding kitchens, living rooms, or adding a family room.
- Creates seamless flow with fewer stairs.
How to Choose:
- Best if you have a larger lot with yard space to spare.
- Consider the impact on outdoor space and landscaping.
- Plan for excavation and matching the new foundation with the existing one.
We Build Custom
There comes a point when the search for the perfect house turns into a decision to build from the ground up. Maybe it’s the layout that doesn’t quite work, or the finishes that never feel like “you. Building on an empty lot allows you to design a home with no structural constraints.
Benefits:
- Full flexibility in design, layout, and materials.
- Opportunity to optimize for energy efficiency and long-term comfort.
- No surprises from previous construction — everything is new.
How to Choose:
- Ideal if you’ve already secured a lot or plan to purchase land
- Be prepared for zoning, permits, and site prep — especially if the land is undeveloped

Types of Home Additions We Build
Stay in the neighbourhood you love and get the space you need. Artycon plans, develops and builds custom home additions in Toronto designed just for your family. When your home no longer offers enough space, adding more room can be a smart investment. You might need to add extra bedrooms, a larger kitchen, or more space for work or relaxation. There are a few ways to create that additional space, including building up with a second-level addition, building out by extending into your yard, or building down to add space below ground. Choosing how to add space depends on your lot, budget, and family needs.
Second Story Additions
Add a full second level to increase living space without losing your yard. Ideal for growing families or multigenerational households needing extra bedrooms and bathrooms.
Garage Additions
Expand or attach a garage to create extra room for storage, an added hobby space, and most importantly, protect your vehicles. We check your foundation and engineering to tie it smoothly into your existing home’s structure.
In-Law Suites & ADUs
Add a self-contained suite that supports aging parents, adult kids, or rental income. We include separate entries, kitchenettes, bathrooms, and comply with Toronto’s zoning by-laws.
Back House Room Additions
Extend the rear of your home with a kitchen bump-out, family room, or mudroom. We verify existing framing and footings to make sure there is visual consistency and enough strength structurally to withstand a back house room addition.
Garden Suites
Our garden suites in Toronto are custom designed and built with all the amenities needed to create a detached private living space or rental property. We make your backyard work for you.
Home Renovations
Every custom home addition in Toronto often goes hand in hand with interior renovations, since expanding your home requires ensuring the existing structure can support the new space.
