Warm Embrace by the Stylesmiths

Warm Embrace is a project designed by the Stylesmiths. In the leafy suburb of Malvern East, Victoria where historical charm meets contemporary, an early 2000s family home stood ready for a much-needed transformation. Once a bustling hub for a family of five, the house had lost its lustre over the years, leaving behind a neutral, uninspired palette. As the children grew and started to embark on their own paths, the family felt it was time to bid farewell to the old and welcome a more sophisticated, adult-friendly environment.

Haut Outremont by Desjardins Bherer

Haut Outremont is a project designed by Desjardins Bherer. The purchasers of this apartment, located on the top floor of a religious heritage building between Mount Royal and Montreal’s urban landscape, wanted a place where, alongside a unifying living space, they could indulge their passions in corners of their own.
As globetrotters, they have accumulated many travel souvenirs and objects with Middle Eastern accents: carpets, works of art and decorative accessories. They were also keen to showcase the beautiful antique furniture they had inherited. They wanted to unify the whole in a warm, functional and resolutely contemporary interior.

East Village Triplex by Kimberly Peck Architect

Leave a reply

This loft designed by Kimberly Peck Architect is situated in the former International Tailoring Company Building in New York’s East Village. The clients bought a top-floor loft and an abandoned mechanical room directly above it. Our task was to combine the rooftop space with the loft to create a cohesive triplex apartment. We achieved this by carefully opening up the roof’s 100-year-old structural members to install a staircase connecting the existing loft to the additional upper two levels. On the main floor, the first run of the staircase is located in the apartment’s entry and is made of a sculptural form of dark oak. Photography by ddreps.

Free Plan by Desjardins Bherer

Leave a reply

Free Plan is a project designed by Desjardins Bherer. A concrete house built in the 1990s needed an update. The closed-in kitchen created a wall between the living spaces, and the decor, in saturated primary colours, produced a rather cold atmosphere. In 2017, the owners decided to refresh the property with a more contemporary and all-encompassing look. Photography by Adrien Williams.

Belvedere by Desjardins Bherer

Leave a reply

Belvedere is a project designed by Desjardins Bherer. The future owners were captivated by this completely glazed, brightly lit space, with Mount Royal as its backdrop, its immense terrace stretching from east to west and a wealth of services close at hand. Located in a 40-floor tower that had been completed just months before, the apartment was still a concrete shell. But it was long and narrow, a layout that did not suit the clients’ needs, so they turned to the Desjardins-Bherer team for assistance. The firm re-imagined the configuration and layout in order to integrate three bedrooms and a study for the father. Photography by Adrien Williams.

Wedge House by NEO Architecture Inc.

Leave a reply

Wedge House is a project designed by NEO Architecture Inc.. As the old railways crisscrossed and bisected our City, they did so with their usual efficiency and urban apathy, leaving many orphaned and irregular parcels of land in their wake. One such area is located at the interruption of the street line where it abruptly converges with a spur line. The once essential but now abandoned infrastructure has since been repurposed into a beautiful amenity and graciously granted back to the public in the form of the Iron Horse Trail; a pedestrian pathway traversing Kitchener and Waterloo.
