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

Rinekwall- RINEKWALL designer, Dana Agamalian, passed out twenty-two white pieces of paper and black pens to her son's 3rd grade class. She told them to draw peace signs, anyway they wanted. A barrage of questions ensued. Maybe kids are used to more instructions, but that was it from Dana. "I wanted them to draw from their hearts and enjoy themselves. It was magic! Each and every paper a masterpiece!" A smaller group of neighborhood kids drew the PEOPLE design. Dana's instructions were equally open-ended: draw happy faces. Notice the clock faces, a great example of how original art can be interpreted ad infinitum. These bold designs bring a smile to your face as you contemplate the hope and unity they embody. Through the innnocence of the children's drawings, the viewer is transported to a place where no dream seems impossible. RINEKWALL hopes that we are showing respect and support to these artists' dreams. In presenting PEACE and PEOPLE, two cutting-edge designs, we are proud to assist in spreading the childrens' message of peace and unity for the world.

Decadent. Rich. Lavish. Perfect words to describe the LAMINAM Calacatta Mediceo that graces this elegant kitchen. Design exclusively by Ollin Stone, the design of this sublime stone has us thinking of Italian cream and caramel — a luscious combination indeed.
