Saint-André Residence in Montreal, Canada by _naturehumaine architecture et designJuly 24th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal

We transformed the early-20th-century duplex into a single-family dwelling, with the intent of creating a bright, open-space house.  Image Courtesy © Adrien Williams

This protruding structure creates intimacy in the night spaces as well as a dynamic volume above the yard.

In order to structure space and add accents of materiality as well as textures to the house, three volumes have been covered with walnut wood, and another, with white rods.
