Montreal Avenue Residence

The homeowners envisioned a forever home designed to seamlessly blend sustainable living, modern functionality, and long-term adaptability—crafted to support both their current lifestyle and future needs. 

Sustainability was a top priority, not only to minimize environmental impact but also to create a healthier, more energy-efficient home that enhances the homeowners’ comfort and well-being.

Inside, you'll find a chef’s kitchen featuring walnut cabinetry, open-concept living spaces, a built-in sauna, and dedicated areas for both fitness and entertainment. 

Additional highlights include a spacious home office with an adjoining cozy chill-out space, a wet bar, an elevator, and a striking floating steel staircase.

With a nod to its Nordic roots, the home also boasts gorgeous elm hardwood flooring and a serene screened-in porch – which is also a perfect spot for unwinding while watching the sunsets over the river.

A true embodiment of sustainability and innovation, this all-electric residence is built for optimal energy efficiency and year-round comfort.

With both homeowners working remotely, a thoughtfully designed workspace was essential. The objective was to establish a distinct yet cohesive office environment that fosters productivity, organization, and a space to decompress. 

By removing a dividing wall between a former guest bedroom and a small office on the upper level, we created a spacious, multi-functional office and lounge area tailored to their daily routines. The design also allows for the space to be easily reconfigured in the future should they choose to separate the rooms once again.

The lower level was envisioned as a wellness retreat, incorporating a sauna, fitness area, and a full wellness bar featuring reverse osmosis drinking water and a dedicated juice fridge. 

This level also functions as a guest suite, providing privacy and convenience with easy access to a well-appointed bathroom, refrigeration, and ample storage.
