Queen Mary's secrets
Dating back to 1927, this house was named the Queen Mary residence. Its original Tudor-style façade blends perfectly with the majestic architecture of Hampstead, a garden city founded in 1914 in the Greater Montreal metropolitan area. The new times, however, required a thorough renovation, and this challenge was taken up by the architects from the Atelier Barda studio.
The project was very difficult: the historical part of the building was protected by detailed regulations on the part of the conservator of monuments. The houses built in this area were characterized by an extensive façade facing the street, which was the most important point of the building.
Architects from Atelier Barda decided to balance the entire project and add a modern part to the yard, which will accentuate the richness of the garden. In the front part, the historic window joinery and historical details have been precisely recreated.
In the new part, however, there was more freedom: the architects opted for a copper roof, which was sloped in such a way as to reduce the cast shadows and maximize the amount of natural light in the yard.
The functional layout of the interior was also changed; the living area was situated from the garden, thanks to which you could allow yourself more freedom in the interior. In the kitchen, in the very center, there is a terrazzo island, and the main decoration of the living room is a view of the garden.
