Saint-Hubert I Plateau, Montréal

The Saint-Hubert project involved the renovation of a second-floor apartment in a classic Montreal triplex. This project presented two significant challenges: a tight budget and a limited design phase.

The original layout, typical of many older apartments, was fragmented into multiple small rooms, each with only a single window. This made the apartment dark and impractical. To address this, I opened up the back end of the apartment—encompassing the living room, kitchen, and third bedroom—to maximize the natural light from the west and create a fluid, dynamic interaction between the spaces.

For the water closet and separate bathroom, I removed the dividing walls to form a single, larger bathroom. This change allowed me to reduce the size of the adjacent double room, converting it into a functional walk-in closet.

In terms of aesthetics, I aimed for a refined and minimalist design to ensure that each unique feature of the apartment would stand out.
