Building and renovating in Old Ottawa South
Old Ottawa South, between the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River, is full of older homes on modest lots. Projects here often include whole-home renovations, kitchen and ensuite renovations, rear and second-storey additions, and infill homes, with structural upgrades and careful site management for close neighbours.
Old Ottawa South, between the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River, is made up largely of early 20th-century homes, many in the Craftsman style. These houses have character worth keeping but often need modern systems, insulation, structural reinforcement and more usable space. Common projects include rear and second-storey additions, basement underpinning to gain ceiling height, open-concept kitchens and full bathroom renovations. Some properties in the area have heritage status, so we confirm a home's status with the City early, because exterior changes to a designated property need heritage approval. Narrow lots and close neighbours also make zoning, setbacks and site access key parts of planning.
