This rectangular structure was conceived in bright yellow and green, with large panoramic windows, unusual fencing and patio decoration.
The main thing was to make the interior extremely bright and luminous. The white color, the skylight and the transparent floor on the second floor helped bring the idea to life. Daylight enters the house through a skylight and flows through the glass floor of the second floor, illuminating the ground floor.
Complete renovation and remodeling of the interior space with a 40 sq. ft. . toward the backyard turned a standard duplex into a spacious studio apartment. Thanks to the extra space created, there is now the possibility of having another living room on the first floor and a bedroom on the first floor.
The interior highlights the beauty of the wooden structural walls and beams. They are supported by a more fragile material that creates a contrast to the white background.
After the remodel, the first floor accommodates two living rooms, kitchen, lobby, patio, dining room, laundry room, bathroom and backyard. The second one has three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The former standard duplex now proudly stands among Montreal’s customary houses as a beacon of modernity, brightness and dynamism.
