Residence CEDAR
The semi‐detached urban residence built in 1910 on the slopes of Mount Royal, near the city center, was acquired in 2020 by the current owners. The residence had to be renovated given its age, the lack of maintenance and the state of degradation of several elements. The building had been the subject of several more or less interesting and successful interventions by the previous owners. Nevertheless, several original elements were still present and needed to be highlighted. It should be noted that the original building had undergone an extension in 1920 designed by the Montreal architectural firm Ross and Macdonald.

Family Heritage
There is a perception that heritage houses are not family-friendly homes, that they are not easily adapted to the modern lifestyles of a young couple, their growing children and the grandparents, Family Heritage seeks to dispel that preconception. There is a place for everyone in this house, and the traditional room layout has been afforded a surprising degree of flexibility by providing the ability to open or close up rooms according to function and to the residents’ needs. The design provides ease of access to outdoor natural surroundings, and a family-friendly garden with pool, via openable glass walls and generous balconies. Light and access to the sun are not lacking in this home.
