Is there a point in time when owning a home with chevron hardwood floors this breathtaking that you eventually stop staring at them with a stupid grin on your face? Doubt it. Parisian apartment again by REV Architecture.

Le 205

Posted on Fri, 7 Aug 2015 by midcenturyjo

Step inside the unassuming facade of this 1950s warehouse and you’ll find a minimalist open plan home. Hints of the building’s industrial past remain but as a shell that contains this super slick modern space. Seamless Corian benches, stainless steel, strip lighting and painted concrete play against a mix of contemporary and mid century furniture. I would, however be more at ease with this house if they would just move the shaving mirror away from the ethanol heater. Ouch! Is it a clue that the owner is hot stuff?

A la SHED transformation

Posted on Tue, 28 Jul 2015 by KiM

Montreal architecture firm la SHED continues to make magic happen and this renovation is indeed magical. They transformed a typical Quebec duplex into a single family home that is modern, bright, spacious and a great home to raise a family in. Light woods, a simple and open kitchen layout, double height ceiling, a courtyard and accents of red together make this really special. (I featured their work last year too).

A box

A box is a box is a box unless it the Cliff House by Canadian MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. A simple idea, a stunning location, a box that is more than a box. Retreat, weekender, archetypal cabin with a view and vertigo. Austere, modest poetry in the landscape.
