Como Lakehouse
This restoration and interior project transformed an early 20th-century stone house — originally a boatman’s dwelling built above an old boathouse — into a contemporary retreat deeply rooted in its context. Located on a steep, secluded slope overlooking Lake Como, the house maintains its original volumetry and iconic arched water entrance, while revealing a new interior spatiality shaped by light, water, and craftsmanship.

MONTPELLIER RESIDENCE
Located in Saint-Bruno, on the South Shore of Montreal, the Montpellier Residence sits in a picturesque setting with its sinuous streets and mature trees. Built in the late 1960s by a local architect, it is now listed in the cultural heritage repertoire as an iconic example of Mid-Century aesthetics in Quebec.

According to the Vives St-Laurent team: "This modern residence, characteristic of North American bungalows, [...] stands out with its volumetric interplay and clean lines. Completely clad in brick, the house features no ornamentation, allowing the expressive nature of the materials to take center stage. The residence consists of three distinct single-story volumes, all connected by a glass corridor."

Sadovie Kvartali
How an interior is born? At what moment an image appears? We don’t have a certain script.
Babayants Architects
Many of the ideas for this project came to our minds when we first visited the apartment. So, we had a wonderful space with high ceilings, lots of daylight and a splendid view.
Babayants Architects

Sky, lake, changing weather are the main actors in this project. And the interior is a decent and appr... More

PH House
Norm Architects have restored and rebuilt a historic villa in Copenhagen after a devastating fire. The story goes that the house used to be inhabited by the renowned Danish architect, designer and cultural critic, Poul Henningsen.
The villa, located in Copenhagen, is said to have been the home of the famous, danish design-icon, Poul Henningsen. Today, a family of three resides in the historic house – a modern home that holds references to its original state – with beautiful high panels, parquet flooring, low, paned windows, teak furniture and – of course – retro PH lamps hanging over the kitchen island.
“The house being a former home – or summerhouse – of Poul Henningsen wasn&rsquo... More
