65 Mill Street

Almonte, Ontario

65 Mill Street is a mixed‑use building with ground‑floor commercial and personal service tenants and residential condominiums above. This project is an ongoing continuation of work received in handover from Jim Bell. It involves a series of upgrades that support both the commercial operations and the residential units.

A dedicated space is being created for Milltown Yoga, which required raising the floor level to provide additional headroom in the basement below. The basement is currently used as an artist’s studio and the increased height improves comfort and supports its planned conversion into office space. These changes allow both levels to function more effectively and accommodate a wider range of tenants.

The front façade of the building will remain unchanged to preserve its historic character and its contribution to Mill Street’s streetscape. The rear of the building, where the new addition is located, will take on a contemporary expression with vertical metal siding, metal panels and timber posts supporting exterior balconies. A walk‑out deck will be added above Milltown Yoga to provide outdoor space for the expanded condominiums.

Together, these interventions enhance the building’s commercial offerings and expand its residential capacity while balancing heritage preservation with modern functionality.
