APPAREIL architecture has completed Percée Residence in Montreal, Canada. This project is a renovation of the ground floor level and basement of a historic duplex. The new staircase serves not only as a link between each level, but also as the focal point of the updated space and as a skylight. This new light allows the use of the living and work spaces in the basement, which wasn’t possible before the intervention.

Village House Woodend by Glow Design Group

The clients showed some images, their ideas generally were of a ‘ranch ’styled house. It was a bit more Texan in feel, and this was fine as I had been influenced before by a Texan design.
