The renovations to this 50-storey half-level home in Mont-Royal include several interventions affecting the appearance of the building. While being part of a conceptual approach respectful of the material qualities, the original proportions of the building and its openings, our intervention rationalizes the distribution of the materials on the facades. The installation of a continuous stone wall above the windows of the ground floor all around the building separates the facades of the DRC with stone or brick from the new coating of anthracite gray fiber cement panels used on all upstairs. The modulation of the panels and the position of the joints aligning with the mullions of the new windows give a coherent and dynamic rhythm to these wall surfaces. The large eaves are highlighted by the replacement of the aluminum soffits with wooden boards dyed in the color of the new mahogany double entry door. A new steel entrance canopy with integrated lighting and a wooden ceiling such as the new soffits complete the sensitive and respectful modernization of the original characteristics of the house.

Elegant front entrance introduces a refined blend of natural warmth and modern precision. Smooth horizontal wood paneling pairs gracefully with a sleek glass doorway, forming a striking architectural statement. The dark-framed double doors, etched with geometric clarity, create a sense of depth and artistry. A polished ceiling of rich wood tones softens the modern lines, while the slate-gray flooring anchors the entryway with grounded sophistication. Light filters through the glass, accentuating the textures and craftsmanship that define this high-end exterior. The result is a designer home façade that welcomes with both style and substance.
