Robert Lavoie, founder of the firm, has created a refined layout that highlights natural light. The kitchen, which opens generously to the backyard, has become the brightest point in the apartment. Its abundant fenestration gives the impression of feeling between the inside and the outside. The opening with rounded corners between the immaculate kitchen and the rest of the residence marks the transition to this in-between.

The arch between the bathroom and the shower invites natural light. The white on the walls contributes to the overall brightness and enhances the warmth texture of the terracotta floor. The 980 square foot space has clever hidden storage that clears up the rooms and gives way to the geometric simplicity of the space.
