A mezzanine of wood and steel creates a new room in a loft near the Lachine Canal in Montreal.

Propped on the existing wood structure, the mezzanine creates a new room, freeing the main floor. On the second floor, the available height is maximized by using different levels: the raised bed extends into a leisure area, framed by a long shelf. In order to minimize the structure’s volume, the mezzanine is built of birch plywood attached to a light steel frame.
