Drolet

A young couple, owner of this duplex located near the Jean Talon market in Montreal’s little Italy, asked for Agence Imagine’s help and expertise to turn it into a single family home. Big renovations as well as an extension on the backyard have been made in order to offer today a large, comfortable home bathed in a lot of natural light. The main floor’s layout is based on a linear structure that guides visitors into the living room and separates the kitchen area. A structural beam covered in a walnut veneer allows to maximize and open the living areas and gives a fluid circulation throughout the space. Noble and raw materials and finishes such as wood, natural stone and quartz embellish this contemporary universe. The addition of a large patio door as well as a couple rectangular windows give a new sight toward the outside and allow natural light to penetrate the open area. The installation of a 3 sided gas fireplace accentuates the warm hearted aspect of the space. The kitchen, a mix of walnut and Italian lacquer, includes a spacious kitchen island where the owners like to cook and gather around with friends. Lots of organising spaces as well as a pantry have been thought out in order to optimize the use of space. The upstairs includes a master’s bedroom with a walk-in and an access to the roof top terrace built on top of the main floor’s extension. On the 2nd floor we also find two bedrooms and a large bathroom. Spacious and functional, the bathroom offers calm and relaxation thanks to its podium bathtub and large Italian shower. The harmonious mix between the porcelain, the mosaic and the walnut veneer inspire serenity and elegance. Photo Credit: Guillaume Gorini | Point de vue Studio
