I placed this Fiddlehead to activate a dull corner and to keep the plant close to sunlight per its instructions. Here the light dances on the plant which casts a shadow onto the wall- adding more intrigue. It truly is another lovely (understated moment). SAY YES TO THE POWER OF PLANTS. Preferably, I use living plants for my client’s psyche and to have these green living cells keep them company. However, if one can't commit to keeping plants alive, then go for the silk!

Chambord Residence

Humà Design + Architecture

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. © Lorelei L'Affeter

Kunming Cottage Apartment

Kunming Construction

This apartment porch-space was re-designed as an office area. There is plenty of day-light, with privacy provided by dark green, bamboo blinds. The wood column in the corner covers up a water drain pipe. The overhead sill is a perfect place for books; giving it a home-library feel. All cabinets are custom to the space, made of real wood.
