Located in Montreal’s Outremont borough, nestled in the heart of the city.

The original design, crafted by Architects Morin & Cinq-Mars, drew inspiration from the architectural work of Frank Lloyd Wright. This major transformation and extension aims to honour the historical essence, while establishing a serene retreat on Mount Royal. The result is a spacious, welcoming living space that is deeply connected to the natural beauty of the surrounding forest.

The property's landscaping seamlessly integrates with the surrounding nature. This essential component of the project has been meticulously crafted to create a Zen garden infused with Japanese influences. Water also plays a central role, appearing in various forms; tranquil ponds marking the approach to the main entrance and the transition to the sunken outdoor lounge area, as well as a fountain in the side courtyard.
