Local design studios Atelier Chardonnat and Salem Architecture join forces to create the Residence Ave Duchastel. It is a renovated home that has been expanded in Montreal, Canada. It separates the original home from the addition using a monumental skylight at the top of the home. It was originally designed by architects Morin & Cinq-Mars in the 50s with inspiration from Frank Llyod Wright's work.
The two firms ensured to honor the historic spirit while creating a serene ambiance in the center of the city. The team explains, "The interventions pay homage to this iconic architect and integrate Japanese and Scandinavian influences, which are highly appreciated by the owners. The result is a spacious, welcoming living space that is deeply connected to the natural beauty of the surrounding forest."
