On the first floor, the original structure wall was replaced by a single beam system creating a large, bright and open area. The fully white kitchen brings light and depth to the space while integrating with the white walls of the residence. The fireplace is covered with a layer of blue steel, blending perfectly with the polished concrete of the radiant floors and contrasting the bright white kitchen cabinets and doors. The wooden staircase offers a touch of warmth and comfort in this sleek white universe.

On the side of the building, in continuity with the cornice, a long steel section marks the transition between the existing building and the new addition. The result is a monolithic cedar planked volume that rests atop the existing building. The north side, overlooking the alley, is perforated by a set of vertical slats which provides the necessary light inside the room while maintaining privacy.
