Midtown East LET THE LIGHT IN Midtown East- Residence This project began with the client’s concerns about moving into a low and dim apartment that had north facing windows with a view of a construction site. We began with the concept of an all-white kitchen to reflect light in back of the apartment and make the apartment feel lighter. The finish of the cabinetry is high gloss white thermafoil against custom polished chrome handles and fixtures. The appliances are seamlessly concealed. The ceiling has been dropped to highlight this area with spot pendants and adjustable recessed lights. Track Lighting is also used through the apartment to allow for adjustable projections. High Gloss Pebble Caesarstone is the finish that is carried throughout the apartment, on the kitchen counters, backsplash, island and on the radiator millwork in both the living and bedroom to reflect the light from the windows. The custom shades double fabric system allow alternating light as well as privacy and their texture create a radiating glow along the ribbon windows. The double door into the bedroom was removed and instead one sliding door was created to allow there to be a wall to mount television screens on both sides. The Bathroom’s East wall subway tile was removed and replace with reflective light blue glass tile and all new polished chrome hardware for the sink and shower body. Millwork is done in a silver walnut.

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
