The homeowners purchased an old 1830 house in Pointe-Claire on the waterfront. The old house was married with the construction of a new house that adjoins old with new. The challenge was to design and build a kitchen that would accommodate wheelchair access. To do so, we created a free standing island containing a cantilevered surface to enable those in wheelchairs to be part of the kitchen and enable them to work and participate. Also unique to this kitchen, is the cement countertops embedded with fossils.
