Established by partners Andrew Fee and Linda Corbett in 2000, SOMA Studio, is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary design firm. SOMA's project portfolio includes architectural and interior design, as well as site-specific furniture and fittings.
The Dupont Project is about re-purposing and re-vitalizing an old main-street Toronto building to create a single family dwelling . Like many west-end inner-city buildings, Dupont dates from the turn of the twentieth century. Originally designed as a main-floor storefront with residential space above, it met the needs of commerce and living during that period. By 2009 the building had been a residence for fifty years. No renovation or updates had been carried out on the property except for windows and wiring done in the 1970's.
Andrew Fee's design for Dupont includes a two-storey residential living space with interior garden, a private outdoor garden and a separate two-car garage with studio space above and laneway access. The original derelict building has been transformed into a contemporary urban residential home in the vibrant Junction Triangle community.
