Connaught Residence, located in Notre Dame de Grâce, Montréal, was a dull, concrete house built in the ’50s that needed an substantial upgrade. The owners, a developing loved ones, wanted a more spacious and modern residence. They also mentioned that they would really like to hold a certain harmony and the new design had to blend somehow with the old home’s original style line. Naturehumaine, the firm responsible with the renewal, following a cautious analysis, discovered the remedy for this problem. In order to expand the living space, the architecture firm decided to commence with an extension. The intervention also consisted in re-organising the interior, to make it much more comfortable and inspiring.

The property appears easy and neat, integrating playful black and white volumes. The most prominent of these is the extension itself. “The extension fills the void produced by the split level of the current home and is capped on either side with generous glazing. The living areas of the ground floor are distributed about a central core that has become the new focal point of the property. The new master bedroom located on the the second floor is secluded from the children’s bedrooms and accessed by a glass catwalk spanning the entrance of the property.”
