PROJECT
An elegant pied-à-terre in the prestigious city of Montreal
A blend of history and modernity for two young Carabins
After training sessions and classes, the primary need is simple: to return to a calm, fluid, and welcoming space. The transformation of this classic Westmount plex makes it the ideal gathering spot for studying, recovering, and entertaining.
Details of the project
The issue
Our clients often come to us with space organization challenges: they want more functionality, a more fluid environment for the family, and more welcoming spaces for entertaining.
We are also asked to rejuvenate bathrooms to turn them into truly modern havens. But above all, it is crucial to preserve the heritage, character, and history of the home. We don’t want to erase everything, but rather combine contemporary comfort with the soul of the past.
Our passion? Transforming these issues—lack of functionality, need for conviviality, and respect for the past—into a renovated space that tells a new story, that of our clients. And we love it!
The need
Our clients have clear needs: they want a large, functional kitchen, optimized lighting, and more common areas for the family. Smart storage is also a priority, to keep the house tidy at all times.
But beyond modernity, it was essential to preserve the heritage of the house, to make it more contemporary while respecting its history.
Our mission is to transform these specific needs into a living space where old and new come together perfectly, to the delight of our clients!
The concept
- Kitchen relocated: We completely moved the kitchen into the former dining room, freeing up space.
- Common areas: The former living/dining room has been transformed into a large, fluid, and welcoming common area.
- Load-bearing wall opening: Creation of an opening in a load-bearing wall to maximize light and space.
The result
We love
The brick
Brick, with its warm hues and natural irregularities, instantly evokes the buildings of yesteryear, lending an authentic character and historical depth to any space. It is a silent guardian of bygone eras, with each joint and pattern telling the architectural story and craftsmanship of previous generations.
The passage with the arch
The ceramic backsplash extending to the ceiling accentuates the effect of grandeur and unifies the wall behind the stove.
The linear drain
The linear drain offers a modern, sleek aesthetic, blending discreetly into the tiling for a minimalist design. It is ideal for walk-in showers, allowing for a single slope and efficient water drainage.
