Studio MMA Architecture + Designthis roof access is developed like a doorway to the ceiling of the central room of a dwelling, framing views directly to heaven. This thin opening now allows a large amount of light and clarity to enter the dining room and the central circulation area, which are very dark before the work is done.
A new openwork staircase with central stringer and solid oak steps extends the original staircase to the new roof exit along an existing brick wall highlighted by the lightness of this contemporary interior addition. In an intervention approach respectful of the existing, the original moldings and ceiling ornaments have been modified to integrate with the new design.
The staircase ends on a clear and generous reading space despite the constraints of area of the municipality for access to the roof (15m ²). This space opens onto a roof terrace and a panorama from the Olympic Stadium to Mount Royal.
Kimball Starr Interior DesignSmall space living solutions are used throughout this contemporary 596 square foot townhome. Adjustable height table in the entry area serves as both a coffee table for socializing and as a dining table for eating. Curved banquette is upholstered in outdoor fabric for durability and maximizes space with hidden storage underneath the seat. Kitchen island has a retractable countertop for additional seating while the living area conceals a work desk and media center behind sliding shoji screens.
Calming tones of sand and deep ocean blue fill the tiny bedroom downstairs. Glowing bedside sconces utilize wall-mounting and swing arms to conserve bedside space and maximize flexibility.
DK HomesThis stand-alone condominium takes a bold step with dark, modern farmhouse exterior features. Once again, the details of this stand alone condominium are where this custom design stands out; from custom trim to beautiful ceiling treatments and careful consideration for how the spaces interact. The exterior of the home is detailed with dark horizontal siding, vinyl board and batten, black windows, black asphalt shingles and accent metal roofing. Our design intent behind these stand-alone condominiums is to bring the maintenance free lifestyle with a space that feels like your own.
Geobarns LLCThis mountaintop site, the location for a proposed garage and shop would, from its second story, offer a million dollar view of the expansive valley below. This unusual building takes this opportunity to the max. The building’s first level provides various spaces for shops garage bays, and storage. Cantilevered roofs off each side shelter additional work space, and transition visitors to the apartment entry. Arriving upstairs, the visitor enters between private bed-bath spaces on the uphill side, and a generous open kitchen and living area focused on the view. An unusual cantilevered covered porch provides outdoor dining space, and allows the apartment’s living space to extend beyond the garage doors below. A library ladder serves a mini-loft third level. The flexible interior arrangement allows guests to entertain from the kitchen, or to find a private nook in the living area, while maintaining a visual link to what makes this place special.
Imagine ArchitectureThe client’s brief was to demolish the rotten 1920’s bungalow and create a slick and urbane city apartment complex devoid of timber framing.
The design is deliberately masculine with the garaging and entry having a strong purposeful stance providing a solid anchor to the site. The extensive use of exposed concrete masonry juxtaposes the clean plastered masonry continues the theme.
Structural challenges included 5m high retaining along the eastern boundary. Utilising the precast concrete garage roof as a diaphragm enabled the engineer to achieve the necessary wall height. The garage roof also provides an excellent hard surface recreation space.
Upon being granted entry through the security intercom you meet the austere and symmetric form of the central corridor leading to the lift shaft. The Schindler lift carriage contrasts the minimalist corridor by delivering its occupants to each level in style and comfort. The lift tower gives a sense of height, drama and focus for the building.
Interior use of exposed masonry continues the modernist theme providing a wonderful foil for the kwila doors, trim and flooring to work with. The lounge corner window takes in the client’s favourite city view. The lounge nook shields the TV from afternoon sun.
The kitchen with its sea views and the tiled bathroom are finished to a very high standard. The north-west living area spills out to an attractive, leafy courtyard at the lower apartment level and a modern spin on the Juliet balcony creates a connection to the outdoors for the upper apartment
