Following the request of a young family in Montreal, the Roslyn project aimed to redesign their residence to optimize the space around the home, while connecting the living spaces and reorganizing the bedrooms upstairs. To achieve harmony and fluidity between the rooms, openings were created and enlarged, establishing a visual and physical link between the kitchen and the dining room, and continuity between the living room and the foyer. Upstairs, the bedroom has been designed as a master suite integrating an office space, a bathroom and a wardrobe behind the bed.
I continue to be amazed at the ability of Montreal architects to create so much light and sense of space in typically narrow, dark homes (that often have homes attached on both sides and lack the ability to easily add windows). Catherine Aubin and Catherine Potvin of design firm Catherine Catherine are new to me and now on my must-watch list. I am OBSESSED with that 2 story foyer with fireplace and bookshelves situation.
