NatureHumaine have recently completed the redesign and extension of a house in Montreal, Canada. The clients had outgrown their 1920’s house on a large lot on Montreal’s south shore. According to the architects, their clients wanted a contemporary extension that would harmonize with their existing house and highlight and expose the structural brick. Providing the family with more space and having this additional space organized into two intertwining volumes, the home surprises with stunning details. The existing house and the extension were separated by a glazed volume where the vertical circulation of the house is located. The existing house was re-organized to better suit the needs of the clients, where the entry and living room make up the ground floor and the children’s quarters on the second floor. Known as the Dulwich Residence, it appears like a balanced mixture of textures and materials. Photos by Adrien Williams show how the house spreading over 2845 square feet was re-organized to fit requirements and give off a relaxing, welcoming vibe. “Three double height spaces link the communal areas of the ground floor with the more private spaces of the second floor while maintaining a warm atmosphere in the house.”
The creative studio NatureHumaine worked on several stunning projects. We can mention this amazing tiny house: Closse Residence or Berri Residence. But in order to get a closer look into their astounding modern home design portfolio, you should also check out the modern Extension of an Existing 1950 Concrete House and this contemporary single family property La Sentinelle, both designed by NatureHumaine.
