St-Hubert I
2017

The St-Hubert project renovated the second-floor apartment of a typical Montreal triplex. It was challenging, first because of the low budget considering the desired renovations and secondly because of the short time allocated to the design phase.

Like many old apartments, the space was divided into multiple rooms, each with a single-window; in short, the apartment was dark and impractical. I decided to open up the back end of the apartment (living room, kitchen, and third bedroom) to get all of the West light and create a dynamic exchange between the rooms and their functions. For the water closet and separated bathroom, I took down the walls intending to make one single bathroom. As a result, the double room next to it got smaller, giving adequate space to turn it into a walk-in closet.

As for the general aesthetic of the apartment, I tried to make it as refined and simple as possible so each singularity would stand out.
