Upon the departure of their neighbouring tenant, Montreal hair salon Blunt saw an opportunity to expand and develop their brand. Engaging local agency Issadesign, the client and design team engaged in a constructive dialogue to merge the existing shop space with a new one.

Alongside this, textured materials harmonize with the raw nature of the space, expressing the essence of ‘blunt’. Philippe Bernard Tinted grey tones are prominent not only as a neutral yet timeless element but also as an echo of materials found in this Montreal neighbourhod – Griffintown -  a former industrial area where concrete, b...

Part of a revitalization of downtown Montreal and the iconic Place Ville Marie and its esplanade, Sid Lee Architecture presents the Sid Lee Biosquare, a luminous architectural makeover of a space within three quadrants formerly occupied by the Royal Bank of Canada. David Boyer Intending to achieve continuity between the city outside and offices within, the campus is designed as an extension of the urban environment. This sense of continuity is carried over to the infinite grid structuring the organization of the space. The grid makes it possible to conceptualize an open zone where different functions co-exist easily and freely rather than within compartments or workspace silos. David Boyer Offering uninterrupted views of... Más

On a short and narrow street in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood, the Berri House is a small residential extension by Thomas Balaban Architecte that makes the most of a 130 m2 centenary carriage house and a unique urban situation.  Adrien Williams Surrounded by a rich architectural neighbourhood of corner stores, car repair shops, small industrial buildings and traditional brick duplexes and triplexes, the irregularly shaped lot comes from the subdivision of a large property spanning two streets. The subdivision results in a new lot with only a small side yard and a small exterior space at the back enclosed by other buildings. The fundamental issue of the project was how to expand the footprint of the building, p... Más

NORM by Alain Carle Architecte is a renovation and extension of an existing single-family residence that breaks with the generic notion of a suburban house, which is often built without real consideration toward its context. The house is located in the city of Baie-D’Urfe, on the southwestern end of the island of Montreal, Canada. Originally agricultural in nature, the town emerged as a more traditional suburb after the Second World War.   Félix Michaud The main street layout of the neighbourhood is organized as an orthogonal grid, while secondary arteries follow the irregular topography of the area. The winding nature of the streets means that even with the existing dense and mature vegetation that charact... Más

In a busy part of the Verdun neighbourhood of Montreal two separate spaces formerly used for a Jiu Jitsu gym and beauty salon have now become a coworking space for Spacial. Designed by IVYSTUDIO, the flexible working environment for a total of 120 people features different sizes of rentable offices and a variety of shared common areas. Alex Lesage While over 8,000 square feet in size, the building footprint previously had little access to natural light as windows are situated in the front façade only. A solution was found by adding new glass brick openings in the staircase wall, resulting in two different front sections. Separated by an existing centre brick wall, the first section includes a reception desk with a working loung... Más
