The M residence project is a transformation of a duplex into a typical row, in a quiet street of Rosemont in Montreal, into a single-family residence. Rosemont being an urban neighborhood conducive to the establishment of young families, the new owners, a couple with 3 children, have chosen to settle there to live in an urban, comfortable and friendly living environment.
By observing the tumult of everyday life as well as the incessant back and forth driven by the energy of young children, the conceptual work of the project focused on the notion of threshold/limit both at the physical/material level and at the perceptual/sensory level. By using both spatial difference and finishing materials, the project emphasizes the relationship between the opening or closing of spaces, the transition between interior and exterior, between one space and another, between everyday life and rest, between the family and the personal, between the neighborhood and the family unit. This work aims to provide a healthy, fulfilling family environment.
