Loft de la Gauchetière / Future Simple Studio

May 3, 2021 Valeria Silva 0

The Rue de la Gauchetière project restores a loft apartment in the Old Port of Montreal. Located in a hundred-year-old heritage building called ‘Unity’, the design seeks to integrate nature and family living into a space that is decisively urban while celebrating its industrial origins.
