The Chambord Residence was a typical worker’s duplex house in the heart of the patrimonial neighbourhood of the Plateau Mont-Royal. The initial intent of this residential renovation project was to annex a master bedroom that would have a view over the iconic Mount Royal, and at the same time, a rooftop terrace. The new addition’s architecture had to contrast with the existing building which stayed untouched. It consisted of a simple volume laid gently over the duplex. We recessed the facade of the new construction to keep the initial alignment of the street.
The client’s love for natural materials and bright colors made it easy for us to choose copper as the siding finish for the extension. The idea of seeing his house change color and evolve through time and natural oxidation made it clear for him that it was the most interesting material. We chose a diamond shaped tile to cover the new add-on construction, as it refers to the vernacular false-mansard found in the city, and adds a texture that will make the copper age unevenly.
Our goal was to create a contemporary jewel that celebrates the patrimonial gem it sits on.

Small in footprint but significant in impact, this Lakewood, Colorado kitchen renovation proves that limited square footage does not have to limit exceptional design.
HouseHome transformed the tiny, dated kitchen into an elevated, highly functional space that feels open, warm and remarkably spacious.
Custom walnut cabinetry brings richness and natural character to the room while maximizing every inch of available storage. Sleek porcelain slab countertops introduce a refined, uninterrupted surface, complemented by concrete-look tile that adds texture and an organic, grounded quality. Floating walnut shelves provide functional storage without the visual weight of additional upper cabinets, helping the compact kitchen feel larger and more inviting.
Modern brass fixtures and thoughtfully placed track lighting add a warm, sophisticated glow while creating a striking contrast against the kitchen’s earthy materials. Behind the beautiful finishes, the space received a complete renovation—including all-new appliances, electrical systems and plumbing—to deliver the durability, convenience and performance expected of a modern luxury kitchen.
Designed for a rental property, this project required an intentional balance of elevated style, lasting materials and everyday practicality. The result is a distinctive organic modern kitchen that enhances the home’s value, attracts discerning renters and demonstrates how thoughtful interior design can completely redefine a small space.
This Lakewood kitchen remodel is a true HouseHome transformation: luxurious, functional and designed to make every square foot feel extraordinary.

We were asked to design a custom paver installation for the Hyundai Open Road dealership in Richmond. They had a big promotional weekend sale coming up in a few days, and asked if we could get everything done by then. The timing was tight: we had a crew of 3 working until 2:00am to finish on time—and we did!
