In this detached duplex of the Rosemont district, the owners wanted to transform the ground floor and the semi-basement to make it their home.
Space and light
We first sought to reorganize the partitions to obtain fluid circulations and spaces that are well-proportioned, clean, and uncluttered.
New openings have been made in the exterior walls to illuminate the space at any time of the day. We also opened the floor to create a large double-height space for the new staircase, thus reinforcing the continuity between the two levels.
The lighting has also been thought from a functional point of view but also for the ambience it can create and also for the beauty of the object itself in space.
For this project, we have designed several elements of integrated furniture that meet the needs of the clients in their daily activities.
Materiality
Great care is taken in details and in the choice of materials. In this project, white oak, polished concrete and white or anthracite lacquered panels are the main materials used.
Other materials are added to the palette of the project such as the brass light fixtures that mark the spaces or the marble mosaic that covers the surfaces of the first floor bathroom.
A continuity of materials throughout the house also contributes to an impression of fluidity between the spaces.
