Exhaust fans can really raise ugly sight issues as they are situated on the roofs of buildings to exhaust heat from cooking or other commercial uses, yet simply painting the  installation – which Humble Beginnings did –  can greatly improve the effect the fan system has on the surrounding area. In many parts of Toronto including the Greater Junction Area buildings are being retrofitted for uses that must haveexhaust fans such as restaurants, where the subject building nor the building on either side where intended for such a use when built. This can require some ingenious design planning just to situate the fan system and the duct work required.

In the Junction area quite a few of these fans systems are appearing, and it can be understood how, why and where they are being placed on buildings…code requirements and cost. However seeing they can seriously harm the high street view and community aesthetic for both commercial and residential  uses, care needs to applied to the installation.

 

Humble Beginnings is a recent addition to the Junction retail strip. In addition to opening their establishment with a great interior and exterior facade reno, opening in this location about 3 blocks from the restaurant traditional Junction restaurant sector  they are with assisting with building and strengthening a second restaurant cluster in the Junction.
