This residence, originally designed by Architect Pierre Cantin in 1964, was completely renovated to give it a new elegance. The premises were stripped down to make room for lighter, larger and brighter spaces. Redesigned for a young family, this vast residence of nearly 10,000 sq. Ft. Now offers openly connected rooms.
The atrium, a true centerpiece, unveils a double staircase adorned with extensive walnut paneling leading to the mezzanine and overlooks a bar area with a fireplace adjoining the living room. From the Half-level landing of the main staircase, a large solid wood door conceals the master quarters. The new rich hues of the ground floor contrast with the whiteness of the second floor and its atrium mezzanine. The kitchen and the dining room directly lead to a large refurbished courtyard with swimming pool. In the extension of the vast kitchen whose storage conceals an access to the garage, there is a dinette and access to one of the three outdoor terraces.
This major and very atypical renovation of this iconic 26 rooms Montreal residence was made possible by bringing together around twenty professionals, engineers and construction specialists under the direction of MU Architecture.
