In the 2025 awards, CCR Build + Remodel Inc., based in London, Ontario, earned the Best Whole Home Renovation under $200,000 for their standout project, Farmhouse Charm with Contemporary Class—a blend of traditional design and modern renovation techniques.
Blending Traditional and Modern Design
CCR Build + Remodel Inc. transformed a dated farmhouse into a functional, modern home while preserving its original charm. The renovation combined rustic design features with modern finishes, resulting in a space that bridges heritage with contemporary living. The homeowners wanted to retain the character of their farmhouse while adding updated layout, new materials, and energy-efficient systems.
Core Renovation Features
CCR Build + Remodel Inc. removed walls to create a more open floor plan, improving both natural light and flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This update significantly increased the home’s functionality and helped modernize the layout for today’s lifestyle.
Kitchen Renovation
The kitchen renovation features modern cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, and wooden window trim creating a blend of styles that reflects both the home’s history and current trends. Stainless steel appliances and a large island provide practical upgrades for cooking and entertaining.
Preserving Historical Charm
Key architectural details, such as original hardwood floors and exposed brick, were preserved and incorporated into the design. These restored features add texture and authenticity, tying the renovation back to the home’s roots while complementing the new design direction.
Infrastructure and Energy Efficiency
Behind the scenes, the renovation included essential upgrades to plumbing, electrical, and insulation, along with energy-efficient windows. These improvements enhance comfort, lower energy costs, and bring the home up to modern standards.
Outdoor Living Space
CCR Build + Remodel Inc. extended the project to the exterior with a deck renovation featuring built-in seating and a pergola. This outdoor living space adds usability and supports the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. Landscaping improvements also boost curb appeal and usability.
Renovation Impact
This London, Ontario renovation provided the homeowners with a space that balances aesthetics and function. The project demonstrates how a whole-home renovation can preserve original character while upgrading comfort, efficiency, and style. The final result is a home that supports modern living without losing its identity.
