design proposal from 2022

This new residential project in Mont-Royal’s northwest sector is located within a densely built area, strategically positioned between Côte-de-Liesse Road and Glengarry Avenue. The site benefits from adjacent six-story residential buildings that serve as a visual and acoustic buffer from Highway 40, as well as its proximity to key destinations such as Rockland and Marché Central shopping centers, and Connaught Park. Efficient access to the future REM line and the existing highway network further enhances connectivity.
The building’s architectural design is understated and discreet, aimed at seamlessly integrating with its diverse surroundings. Inspired by neighboring structures, the façade features a harmonious interplay of alternating stone and brick masonry. Stone clads the lower section while brick defines the upper levels, aligning the building’s scale with nearby single-family homes. Regular fenestration contributes to a balanced and orderly appearance. Projecting 1.5-meter balconies and a main entrance awning add depth and texture to the façades, while extending the living spaces outdoors.
The project offers generously sized two-bedroom rental units, with a spacious penthouse apartment occupying the top floor, providing panoramic views of the surroundings. All units are designed in compliance with the latest universal accessibility building codes, ensuring accommodation for aging residents and individuals with permanent disabilities.
For residents’ convenience, a two-level underground parking garage, accessible via a car elevator, maximizes the ground-level space available for permeable landscaping. Pathways and terraces utilize cellular paving stones designed to promote water infiltration, collectively enhancing the project’s urban environmental sustainability.
