SQUARE is an ambitious, bright interior redevelopment project generously laid out over two levels. Nestled in a typical southwest Montreal building, this project embodies a radical transformation of an ordinary rectangular space into a complex, functional, and inspiring family residence.
The mandate was clear: optimize every square meter to meet needs, with an impressive list of spatial and programmatic constraints.
At the heart of the project, a spectacular double-height space overlooking the dining room acts as a true vertical breath. It captures natural light at all times of the day and offers a clear view of the city, creating a strong and memorable spatial moment. The addition of a basement, dug with respect for the existing structure, adds an extra dimension to the living space without compromising the overall elegance.
The conceptual approach was guided by attention to detail and the search for a balance between rigor and creative freedom.
