Addressing city-center challenges to create a seamless and calming living environment
Moving into a downtown condo with a family brings its own set of challenges. When several people share a home near the Museum of Fine Arts, managing space, storage, and privacy becomes essential to daily life.
Renovating this condo required meticulous planning. From concrete ceilings and moving walls to completely reconfiguring the plumbing and navigating strict condo association rules, every decision was made with the goal of maximizing comfort for the entire family.
Details of the project
A blended family is starting a new chapter in Montreal, in a condo located just steps away from the Museum of Fine Arts. The renovation of this downtown space, which was highly desired by the clients, proved to be a real challenge.
Our proposal, which met all their wishes, required major modifications: moving walls, reorganizing plumbing, and integrating lighting into a concrete ceiling. These works, added to the usual constraints of a condominium (regulations, structural limitations of old buildings, and municipal restrictions), required meticulous planning.
Our concept was based on a few key principles:
we love
For those who love to cook, appliances, cookbooks, and ingredients quickly take up all available counter space. Setting up a back kitchen allows you to move the messier or more demanding prep work out of sight. In this project, the cozy, dimly lit space houses a second sink, built-in storage for appliances like food processors, and wall shelves dedicated to cookbooks. This keeps the main kitchen pristine and uncluttered for entertaining, while the “backstage” area keeps everything you need close at hand.
In this shower, the choice of herringbone-laid ceramic creates a captivating visual texture while maintaining an understated look. The slate-blue hue, paired with matte black fixtures, lends an elegant, serene presence—a finishing touch that transforms the morning routine into a moment of calm immersion.
A functional entryway is key to maintaining daily order. This custom built-in unit combines an integrated bench for putting on shoes, concealed storage for outerwear, and wood accents that warm up the neutral tones. Herringbone flooring and track lighting highlight the seamless flow of this transitional space.
Every project is a story. A meeting between your vision and our expertise. In Montreal and the surrounding area, we bring to life renovations that combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.
