http://downtownphotos.ca | This light, airy two floor loft space was purchased in 2012 as both a home and a potential investment. Our Client was therefore interested in furnishings that could remain should he decide to rent the space. Not looking to keep any of the existing items he owned, we developed a virtual plan and began executing by looking for key pieces. The end result is a vintage modern gallery like space with vintage inspired furnishings and strategic pops of colour throughout. In addition to furnishings, a few structural changes helped ensure a better flow and use of the space. ​ Favourite pieces include the bright orange vintage inspired chair balanced by the hint of orange in the large Monet canvas (a reflection of his french European heritage) as well as the vintage modern console table accentuated by the over sized monochromatic clock above.

The project includes renovations and the construction of an addition to an architect's house built in the 1980s. The conceptual idea is to bring the house closer to the outdoor space in front of the forest at the back of the house. Mont Saint-Bruno, creating an addition receiving a lot of natural light and whose space offers a sense of the extension of the interior space in the garden. To this end, the living room and master bedroom, which occupy the space of the addition, benefit from a large amount of windows facing South and West, and large sliding doors in the living room give access to a outdoor terrace that joins the garden level. The large horizontal movement of the roof protects the fenestration and the terrace of the masters from the direct exposure to the sun during the summer.

A beautiful living room space with a modern touches in a coastal community. The neutral color scheme helps make the accent wall with the geometric pattern stand out. The tv has a floating shelf on the accent wall.
