This building, steeped in history, is one of the first buildings in Montreal whose envelope and structure are made of reinforced concrete. Inspired by the Chicago School, it offers large windows to the clothing factories which were its first occupants in 1912. In the 1980s, artists occupied the premises and the spaces were gradually transformed into lofts.
The layout of this 1850 sq. ft. (172 m2) loft was based on the desire to share the view of downtown Montreal. The windows occupy practically the entire 44′ of the south facade, offering occupants an impressive view of the heart of the city and even beyond the shores of the St. Lawrence River, towards the Montérégie. The living spaces (kitchen, living room, dining room, relaxation area) take advantage of this panorama, but the bedroom and the office also take advantage of the spectacle thanks to windows that recall the industrial history of the building. Two bathrooms, a scullery and storage spaces complete the set and serve the main functions at the heart of the project.
The materials are simple and raw. The ceiling concrete is exposed, as is the column in the center of the loft. Wood covers the floor of living areas and bedrooms. It is also used for kitchen cabinets, sliding doors and the manufacture of a long bookcase covering the entire wall under the windows. Sliding panels make it possible to conceal certain storage spaces. Porcelain or slate tiles cover the floor of the kitchen, bathrooms and circulation spaces. Black and white complete the composition of materials.
