The Globe and Mail recently profiled a backyard project by Denegri Bessai Studio — the firm of Assistant Professor Tom Bessai and his partner, Daniels Sessional Lecturer Maria Denegri.

Writes Alex Bozikovic:

At the south end of Mr. Wellington’s property is a new garage. It goes across the 19 foot width of the yard, and from the lane it looks typical, with concrete block structure and some handsome cedar siding. But Denegri Bessai designed the inside with clean details and custom cabinets made of Douglas fir plywood instead of the usual mess of shelving. And they added a second garage door – this one with panes of glass – to open into the yard. “The garage is a filter between alley and yard, and also a room within itself,” Mr. Bessai says.
