McCarty Squared, Inc.: Innovative Design at Widdicomb Crescent

One of the most talked-about homes in this year’s Parade is McCarty Squared’s remarkable project at Widdicomb Crescent. As a leading construction company serving London and its neighbouring communities—including Masonville, Wortley, Oakridge, and Dorchester—McCarty Squared has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, custom renovations that reflect the personal values and unique lifestyles of its clients.

Personalized Approach for a Modern Family

The story behind this home is as inspiring as the finished space itself. The clients, a family new to Canada, brought specific cultural and functional needs to the table. McCarty Squared listened closely, delivering nuanced design touches such as:

Heated floors throughout areas, especially important for families that enjoy going barefoot indoors
Minimal use of carpeting to align with lifestyle preferences
Careful material selection, from tile and hardware to gold and gold-leaf accents that tie back to the homeowners’ heritage and style preferences.

Transformative Changes & Smart Renovation Choices

Rather than making simple updates, McCarty Squared reimagined the home’s layout to maximize flow and usability:

Removing a wall to create an open-concept kitchen with a spacious island for family gatherings
Adding a convenient guest bathroom off the foyer
Updating the basement to serve as a vibrant, multi-purpose playroom.

These design decisions not only speak to 2025’s leading renovation themes—open, functional, and customized spaces—but also show how thoughtful changes can improve daily life for real families.

Why the McCarty Squared Home Is a Must-See This Fall

Whether you’re planning your own renovation or simply seeking inspiration, the McCarty Squared project is a highlight of the Parade. Here’s why:

It reflects thoughtful, culturally attuned design
Comfort and aesthetics are prioritized through smart material choices
The home’s reworked layout showcases how to make every square foot work harder for modern living

Room Extensions: Solving Space Challenges for Growing Families

October 7, 2025

For families in London, Ontario and neighbouring communities, outgrowing your space is a common and exciting milestone. Whether you are expecting a new child, welcoming adult children back home, or finding your teenagers simply need more privacy, the challenges of a growing household can quickly put pressure on your living arrangements. Fortunately, a thoughtfully designed room extension can offer a cost-effective and rewarding solution—giving your family the space it needs while letting you stay in the neighbourhood you love. At McCarty Squared, we specialize in tailoring room additions that solve space problems and add long-term value to your home. Why Room Extensions Are the Smart Alternative to Moving The Ontario real estate market has made upsizing more challenging than ever. Selling your home, buying a new one, and uprooting your daily life comes with considerable financial and emotional costs—not to mention realtor fees, moving expenses, and the stress of adapting to a new environment. A room extension allows you to invest those resources directly into your current property, building a solution that is custom-made for your family. Key advantages of choosing a room extension include: - Remaining in the same school district and community - Avoiding major disruptions to work and daily routines - Increasing your home’s resale value and curb appeal - Gaining customizable spaces for anything from bedrooms to hobby studios or home offices Popular Types of Room Extensions for Growing Families Every family’s needs are different, so it’s important to consider all your options before deciding where to add space. Based on years of experience in London and the wider Middlesex area, we know what works best for local families. Some of the most popular extensions include: - Additional bedrooms for children, guests, or in-laws - Expanded living rooms for more communal and entertaining space - Enclosed sunrooms or four-season porches, bringing the outdoors in - Basement finishing projects to create playrooms, home gyms, or media lounges - Home office wings for remote work and study By envisioning how your space will be used not only today but also in the years ahead, McCarty Squared helps ensure your extension is adaptable and future-proof. Integrating Your New Room Seamlessly A successful room addition should feel like an original part of your home, not an afterthought. This means matching both style and structure, from exterior siding to interior finishes. At McCarty Squared, our design and construction experts pay meticulous attention to every detail—considering roof lines, window placement, traffic flow, and how the new space will connect to existing rooms. We also ensure all materials meet the demands of Ontario’s diverse weather, focusing on energy efficiency to keep every corner of your home comfortable year-round. Our team is well-versed in local bylaws, permitting, and construction standards, making sure your project progresses smoothly from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. The Room Extension Process: What to Expect At McCarty Squared, we believe the renovation process should be open, honest, and customer-focused. When you trust us with your room extension, here’s how the journey unfolds: 1. In-depth Consultation We listen carefully to your family’s challenges and goals, assessing your current layout and property for the best extension options. 2. Custom Design and Detailed Planning Our team develops plans and 3D renderings, balancing architectural integrity with your vision. We take care of the paperwork, local permits, and budget transparency from the beginning. 3. Quality Construction Our skilled craftsmen respect your time and your home, aiming to minimize disruption and adhere to agreed timelines. 4. Final Finishing Touches We deliver a polished space, ensuring insulation, ventilation, flooring, and fixtures are all move-in ready and meet your expectations for comfort and style. The Lasting Impact of Room Extensions Room extensions are more than just extra square footage—they transform your day-to-day living. You may find a new sense of harmony as children or guests enjoy their private spaces, or you might finally realize the dream of a bright, sun-filled studio. Some families even choose to plan for aging parents or flexible rental income opportunities.
