Project Summary

Located in the heart of Cartierville, this boutique residential development introduces a refined, contemporary residential presence within a calm, family-oriented neighborhood. Comprising 22 units over four storeys, the project offers a balance between urban density and residential intimacy. Its location places residents within immediate proximity to major green spaces such as Parc Beauséjour, Parc-nature du Bois-de-Saraguay, and Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur, reinforcing a lifestyle centered on nature, accessibility, and long-term livability.

Architectural Vision

The architectural approach emphasizes quiet elegance and contextual integration. The building’s massing echoes the residential fabric of Cartierville. A strong base anchors the project at street level, while upper floors are defined through a clear horizontal stratification of materials.

The façade is expressed through a balanced interplay of warm brick masonry and light-toned cladding, creating contrast while maintaining cohesion. Recessed balconies are carefully positioned to animate the elevations, offering depth and shadow while preserving privacy.
