services + approach
We are a small group of professionals and collaborators based in Montreal, offering alternative building solutions to clients educated in current environmental issues and seeking a more holistic way of living.
Our goal is to:
Create interior and exterior spaces that are simple, efficient, minimal, and natural
Reduce the environmental footprint of residential projects
Minimize the lifetime energy demand and operating costs of buildings
To do so, we work with our clients, the builders and the consultants to:
Create constructions that will easily be recyclable and/or compostable at the end of their lifecycle
Search for creative solutions to reduce the buildable area and therefore reduce the amount of building material required
Promote the use of natural materials and ecological building techniques
Maximise the use of local materials and ressources to reduce transport and appreciate surrounding communities
Our broad experience in residential buildings includes:
Holistic approach to project development and the involvement of diverse consultants
Refined integration to the site
Integrated conception of all elements required for higher quality construction
Minimal design and a creative use of spaces
Alternative approaches and solutions including passivhaus, strawbale construction, timber frame, natural and ecological finishes
Personalized workshops for groups wanting to build as a community
