Inspired by the "mid-century modern" style, the Garnier residence is an atypical renovation where the beauty of the materials is at the service of singular spaces that redraw the boundaries between the public and the private.
The former triplex gives pride of place to the reception areas. The large living room on the top floor receives maximum light, while the bedrooms, nestled on the second floor, live in the shadow of the double garage in the backyard. The renovation of the three levels also includes the basement, which is partially occupied by an independent studio dedicated to visiting family, or for rent.
The communal living spaces have been treated in the manner of a restaurant-bar-lounge. The kitchen space integrates an elegantly curved countertop with a suspended structure that follows the shape of the U. Everything domestic is hidden in the integrated furniture
A wooden block housing the stairwell, powder room and built-in kitchen furniture as well as the lower level bathrooms concentrates the mechanical and plumbing systems of the residence. These architectural modules define the spaces while contributing to the home's cozy and somewhat secret atmosphere.
Throughout this creation, materiality has inspired the project. Both through the color of the materials and their format. Thus, the wall panels create a framework that accompanies the wall bookcase and gives rhythm to the modules integrated into the space. As in all of the firm's projects, particular attention was paid to alignments.
With the Garnier residence, Dupont and Blouin create chic and controlled interiors that invite both festivities and comfort, in a hushed and luxurious universe.
