Ecologia Montréal is the first single dweling home in Montreal aiming for a Platinum LEED certification. The master bedroom's open concept bathroom features fixtures by WETSTYLE (tub, vanity, sink and mirrored cabinet). The BE Collection tub and sink were produced using WETSTYLE special bio-based composite material. The owner, Sabine Karsenti, with the collaboration of the Ecologia foundation and her designer Gervais Fortin, had the objective to reduce to a minimum her ecological footprint by using healthy, local and little polluting materials. The team demonstrated that it’s possible to build an ecological house without sacrificing the contemporary design. All the materials were hand-picked from the most ecoresponsible supplier’s of Quebec. Photos: Alexandre Parent / Studio Point DeVue
