Maison Carlier, Montreal / YH2 Architecture
yh2 proudly introduces Maison Carlier, an urban densification project built on a through lot in the heart of Montreal’s Little Italy district.
YH2 Architecture
YH2 Architecture is an architectural design firm founded in 1994 by architects Marie-Claude Hamelin and Loukas Yiacouvakis. For yh2, architecture is the art of place-making. It is a creative and transformative tool, a way to reinvent reality.
All aspects of a project are carefully studied: integration within a given context, conceptual design, working drawings, architectural details, interior design and object design. Concepts are developed in such a way that each of the elements must play a part in the overall composition. Nothing is superfluous.
yh2 deliberately chose to concentrate on fewer projects. Headed by its two founding partners, the team dedicates its full attention to these projects, which have received numerous awards throughout the years.
