A four unit residential building is born on a lot crossing a city block in the Mile End.
Occupying the rear portion of a lot between Henri-Julien and Drolet, this four-storey building forms an “L” shape, defining two courtyards. You can access these courtyards by an impasse, a large doorway articulating the building’s façade on Drolet. Adorned with dark brown wood siding, this “pass” is bordered by two monochrome beige volumes composed of firmly rooted brick to the north and a lighter cladding above.
Matte and glossy beige bricks emphasize the verticality of the main volume while the screw-less cladding paces the horizontality of the volume that overlooks it.

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.
