Their impressive capacity to maximize space, provide creative, well designed and unexpected ideas while bringing a practical and realistic approach was very much appreciated and truly what we needed. We wouln't have achieved such a fantastic result (while managing our budget) without Bipède. **★★★★★ — Geneviève Lapointe, March 2016** > Excellent designer services. We were thrilled by the service provided by Virginie, our designer, for our new kitchen. She was good at listening and sizing our taste. She guided us and offered advices that allowed us to save money . We have now a beautyfull and efficient kitchen that maximize storage. I also appreciated the flexibility in the services offered (from design only to project managing/entrepreneur) We will hire them again for our basement reno. **★★★★★ — mdesautels, Oct. 2012** > We asked Bipede to redesign completely our house : kitchen and bathroom from scratch, including custom furniture, like integrated bookshelves, vanity, etc. They totally figured out what we were looking for, both in terms of design and price, and the result exceeded our expectations! Their strenght is to seamlessly mix unexpensive of-the-shelf items with other custom-design ones to create an original look without busting the budget. > > Nous avons donné comme mission à Bipède de re-designer complètement notre cuisine er notre salle de bain, ainsi que de concevoir plusieurs meubles sur mesure dont des bibliothèques, la vanité, une banquette, etc. Elles ont tout à fait saisi ce que nous cherchions, autant en terme de design que de prix, et le résultat est au-delà de nos attentes! Leur grande force est de mélanger le sur-mesure et d'autres éléments plus abordables pour créer un look original à un prix raisonnable. ## Selected projects - [Jeanne-Mance :: Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeanne-mance-bathroom-pj-vj~104493) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Holt](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holt-pj-vj~1809661) - Location: Montréal, QC - Photos: 12 - [Downtown Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-townhouse-pj-vj~1794000) - Location: Montréal, QC - Photos: 31 - [Jeanne-mance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeanne-mance-pj-vj~1785604) - Location: Montréal, QC - Photos: 23 - [Maison rue Laval](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maison-rue-laval-pj-vj~1777834) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 51 - [Grosvenor - Westmount](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grosvenor-westmount-pj-vj~935020) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Maison Cartier](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maison-cartier-pj-vj~1777586) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Maison Greene](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maison-greene-pj-vj~143439) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [place du soleil :: living room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/place-du-soleil-living-room-pj-vj~104854) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Broadway :: kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/broadway-kitchen-pj-vj~104871) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Broadway :: addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/broadway-addition-pj-vj~104864) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Bloomfield :: bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bloomfield-bathroom-pj-vj~104847) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Jeanne-mance :: kitchen & dining room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeanne-mance-kitchen-and-dining-room-pj-vj~104840) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Joyce :: bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/joyce-bathroom-pj-vj~104527) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Joyce :: Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/joyce-kitchen-pj-vj~104526) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Jeanne-mance :: staircase](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeanne-mance-staircase-pj-vj~104831) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Jeanne-mance :: kid's house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeanne-mance-kid-s-house-pj-vj~104832) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Joyce :: living room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/joyce-living-room-pj-vj~104529) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/bipede-pfvwus-pf~1988231460) ## Ideabooks - [Abour](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60026077/list/abour) — 7 ideas - [pouliot isabelle](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/66809136/list/pouliot-isabelle) — 4 ideas - [baya 2014](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34075145/list/baya-2014) — 17 ideas - [patio](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/65065387/list/patio) — 16 ideas - [COULEURS CHAMBRE ENFANT](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14306992/list/couleurs-chambre-enfant) — 35 ideas - [berri](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62463304/list/berri) — 8 ideas - [bernier-boyer extérieur](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27108640/list/bernier-boyer-ext-rieur) — 100 ideas - [valeriote](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57065643/list/valeriote) — 2 ideas - [douche bois](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11532055/list/douche-bois) — 12 ideas - [Bernier - Inspiration plan électrique](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28685415/list/bernier-inspiration-plan-lectrique) — 15 ideas - [steph-sylvain](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34475962/list/steph-sylvain) — 30 ideas - [terrasse 2015](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46552032/list/terrasse-2015) — 6 ideas - [terrassement Krista](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46478639/list/terrassement-krista) — 5 ideas - [bleu karine](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46040157/list/bleu-karine) — 7 ideas - [charcoal karine](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46039764/list/charcoal-karine) — 4 ideas - [ESCASLIER ALIX ANNE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/45795226/list/escaslier-alix-anne) — 7 ideas - [vir](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35151114/list/vir) — 6 ideas - [Paralam](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44163652/list/paralam) — 6 ideas - [ESTIMBRE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/40044258/list/estimbre) — 18 ideas - [Routhier extérieur](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/41904350/list/routhier-ext-rieur) — 8 ideas [See all 70 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/bipede) ## Community Q&A **Q: Cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please confirm brand of cabinets or if custom please?
