MileEndeur

A new four-unit residential building is being built on Fairmount Avenue in Montreal.

Built up directly next to Fairmount Avenue’s sidewalk, the building welcomes residents on its west-facing side, which allows for the site’s most abundant inflow of light. This layout lights up the building’s main façade, whose three window bands flood each living area with natural light. Each dwelling has its own outdoor space. The main floor opens directly onto a yard encircled by a small brick wall. The second floor enjoys a fantastic view of Boulevard St-Laurent from their large loggia, while the 3rd floor dwellings have a spectacular view of the city from each of their mezzanine’s terraces.
