PÉLOQUIN
Built in 1950, this duplex was transformed into a single family house to meet the growing needs of a small Montreal family.
The project took place over 2 years with the conversion of the upstairs first to create 3 bedrooms, an office and the family bathroom. Secondly, the ground floor was opened up to allow the living spaces to communicate with each other while opening them towards the courtyard. Bringing light and greenery into the house was a key point of this transformation.
