Carried out in a residential area of the Rosemont–La-Petite-Patrie borough, the Dandurand Multi-Dwellings project consisted in renovating and expanding a duplex built in the 1920s that housed three dwelling units.

The Curvy House by Ben Callery Architects is a clever response to a range of architectural challenges presented by the existing conditions of the site. The project involved renovating a narrow 6.5-meter-wide block with neighboring walls built on both sides and a heritage façade that needed to be preserved.
The scattered and irregular gables of this Federation house, while absent from the contemporary extension, are suggestive of the casual arrangement of courtyards that now enliven the dwelling within.
