Condo store front by Anne Sophie Goneau

Montreal-based architects and interior designers, Anne Sophie Goneau, have designed the Condo Storefront project. Completed in 2013, the 1,280 square feet condo is located on the ground floor of a triplex on St-Denis Street, in Montreal, Canada.

According to the architects: “The mandate was to divide each living area to maximise the space while maintaining the architectural integrity of the existing location, each room with natural light. The concept was to highlight the raw materials, discovered during the demolition (brick wall, wall hemlock and steel structure), in order to communicate their material, their relief and color environment.

“The open kitchen is the focal point of the space; it unfolds on the dining room and living room, where the master bedroom fits. It is bounded by a glass wall which preserves the view of the bare brick; an archaeological reminder wanting to highlight the existing raw materials as an exhibitor showcase.

On the ground, a radiant hot water heating system was installed under a concrete slab. A light grey epoxy and a matt polyurethane finish were applied.

The interior design of master and secondary bedrooms, as well as the bathroom, are glossy white epoxy to distinguish the private area of the common space. The steel beam, flameproof, delimits the passage area. In the corridor leading to the bathroom, a light-emitting diode is recessed in the ceiling for an intimate setting, which features the original hemlock wall.
