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

Seta was coined with the desire to experiment and the intention of astounding the end users as they observe and touch it. Its name is due to a thread which is repeated on all the surfaces, to produce the perception of scratches on plain-coloured slabs. The concept is very similar to that of the Collection line, but in this case the material involvement is different.

We are back at our Floyds Fork Patio Home to share the Foyer, Study and Guest Bathroom with you. As you enter the home, there is a long hallway leading into the open living area. This long slim console table was perfect for the Entry. The shelves provide an opportunity to display favorite keepsakes. For the Study, we selected an oversized settee that had a twin mattress for the seat cushion for afternoon naps or small overnight guests. We played up the symmetry with matching metal tulip tables topped with super tall mid-century lamps. I love the fun zebra fabric we used on the window treatment. All of our neutral fabrics work perfectly with the homeowners’ existing rug. The custom shower curtain in the Guest Bathroom ties all of the finishes together and supports our overall color palette. Since space is a premium in most patio homes, it is important to be mindful with your furniture selections. Pick pieces that will give you the biggest bang for your buck – a console table with shelves or a dual function sofa. Enjoy!
