Bright open kitchen and dining area with oak cabinets and a wooden bench table, apartment renovation in Montreal

CLARK

2017 | Montreal | Residential

Renovation of a typical Mile End apartment in Montreal, covering about 100 m². The project focused on creating a coherent living space despite the long, narrow configuration. A slight podium was designed to accommodate the kitchen: it clearly structures the room, breaks the tunnel effect, and integrates the kitchen smoothly into the living area.

The design emphasizes a bright, neutral palette, combining light wood and white surfaces to maximize natural light. The textures of fabrics and a large Portuguese rug add depth and warmth, enriching the space without weighing it down.
