Renovation

Clark Residence is conceived as a living gallery that constantly evolves and adapts to a variety of daily needs. This thoughtful design creates a peaceful environment, where each room offers a new perspective on the surrounding urban context. Throughout the residence, views are carefully highlighted and framed by the architecture, both outwards and inwards, inviting residents to engage with each element in a unique and intimate way. This dynamic approach transforms the house into a living, breathing space, encouraging exploration and discovery of traces from the past.

The project concerns the renovation of a typical 70s detached house, where small openings and partitioned spaces were demolished to create open, transversal spaces. Inspired by the Mediterranean context, the project seeks to create a neutral, minimalist envelope connecting the architect’s values, the client’s identity and the natural, artisanal feel of the materials. The new spaces offer the freedom to adapt to everyday use. Furniture is designed as an integral part of the architecture. Planters and masonry steps in waxed concrete punctuate the differences in levels, integrating nature into the architecture.

A Multigenerational Renovation Project – Nestled in the heart of the Petit Laurier neighborhood of Montreal, the Triplex Fabre project perpetuates the architectural tradition of duplexes and triplexes that populate the streets of Plateau-Mont-Royal, a Montreal district where red brick, stone details, and ornamental cornices adorn the facades. The restoration of the original architectural components of the front facade preserves the project’s integration into the surrounding built environment; the simplicity of the reconstructed front balconies and staircase highlights the artisanal red clay brick and the new cornice.

Located within the 4th arrondissement of Paris, near the Place de Bastille, Paris Apartment is situated in the prominent baroque Hotel de Sagonne, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart in 1668 as his personal Parisian residence. Converted from a single residence into multiple apartments in the mid-20th century, the unit underwent a partial renovation in the 1970s, which significantly altered some of the original architectural details. The Hotel de Sagonne is protected under the highest level of heritage classification in Paris, and any alterations are meticulously reviewed to maintain its historic features.

“Building with Mushrooms: Broche Coffee Shop” – Our latest project, Broche, is a compact coffee shop nestled at an intersection in one of Oxford’s historic residential neighborhoods. Given the neighborhood’s protected status, our goal was to refresh this understated corner, making it both inviting and comfortable while respecting its context.
