Unveiling a masterpiece in Montreal’s historic Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood, RobitailleCurtis proudly introduces the Grey Residence—a stunning transformation of a 1905 gem. Crafted with meticulous care and visionary design, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to rebirth and refinement.
A Story of Renewal
Amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, a young doctor couple seized the opportunity to breathe new life into this century-old abode. With a vision fueled by passion and purpose, they embarked on a journey to reclaim its former glory. The task at hand was daunting: to undo the effects of a misguided renovation from a decade past and tailor the space to accommodate their evolving needs—a journey marked by the joys of parenthood.
Expanding Horizons
A pivotal moment in the Grey Residence’s transformation came with the addition of a seven-foot extension at the rear. This architectural flourish not only expanded the footprint but also ushered in a sense of openness and connectivity. The heart of the home, now adorned with a spacious kitchen and dining area, beckons with warmth and hospitality. Through a grand west-facing sliding glass door, the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity blur seamlessly.
Curves of Harmony
Central to the design ethos of the Grey Residence is the artful integration of curves—a motif that imbues the space with grace and fluidity. Here, every corner tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design. The kitchen, a culinary haven, features a central island adorned with rounded edges, creating an inviting focal point. Tucked within lies a hidden gem—a powder room ensconced within an enclosed volume, offering both functionality and finesse.
A Symphony of Materials
In the Grey Residence, every detail speaks volumes of sophistication and style. From the ethereal beauty of porcelain tile flooring to the timeless allure of white oak, each element is carefully curated to elevate the living experience. Sleek cabinets and pantries, adorned with flush handles and concealed behind oak slats, marry form with function seamlessly. The result is a space that exudes modernity and charm—a haven for both culinary adventures and cherished moments.
Embracing Tranquility
Descending into the lower level, a tranquil retreat awaits—a granny suite adorned with all the comforts of home. Refreshed and rejuvenated, it offers a sanctuary of solace and repose. On the upper floors, the narrative continues—a primary suite reimagined with dual closets and a symphony of oak accents. Here, every detail whispers tales of elegance and refinement, inviting inhabitants to revel in the beauty of everyday life.
In the heart of Montreal, amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, the Grey Residence stands as a beacon of timeless elegance and architectural brilliance. Designed with passion, crafted with care—the embodiment of a dream realized.
