design proposal from 2020

This 19-apartment building, located on a corner lot on Île Perrot, is designed to seamlessly integrate with its sloping site while maintaining a compact form. Set between a bustling commercial street with heavy traffic and a tranquil residential neighborhood lined with mature trees and cozy streets, the building skillfully navigates its contrasting surroundings.
The building follows the natural slope of the land, which allows the underground parking garage to be discreetly concealed. The architectural style is simple and clean, with the ground floor featuring light-colored exposed concrete, creating a modern, industrial feel. The two upper floors are clad in vertical wood siding, which helps the building blend harmoniously with the surrounding residential environment.
Large window openings allow natural light to flood the apartments, creating bright and airy living spaces. The corner of the building, which faces the street intersection, is occupied by a notary office at ground level. This strategically placed office adds a functional commercial element while maintaining accessibility and enhancing the street presence. The overall design balances residential and commercial use, ensuring that the building fits harmoniously into its urban context.
