“Positioned at the corner of the street, the residence adopts a more opaque posture on the outside, turning away from the urban hustle and bustle to open towards the west, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Laurentian Mountains,” says MU Principal Jean-Sébastien Herr. “We used subtle angles in both volumetry and roofing—not only as aesthetic elements but as thoughtful choices that create a protected entry from the street side. This carefully designed layout promotes a seamless integration of the residence into its site, characterized by an irregular trapezoidal shape.”
A glassed interior walkway connects these spaces on the ground floor, creating an understated separation between areas dedicated to everyday living, entertaining, and leisure pursuits, as well as forming a luminous bridge between the front and rear of the property.
