It is my pleasure to share one of our latest duplex projects in the Saint-Henri neighborhood in Montreal. Habitat for Humanity initiated the project and we volunteered for the organization and the family owner.
I believe in the involvement of professionals in communities and in the added value of the architect’s work in society. As a building professional, our ability to transform a spatial issue into a creative, elegant and sustainable solution that perfectly meets the needs of humans is essential to the redevelopment of city neighborhoods and the appropriation of places and living environments by the new owners.
Mutual support, autonomy, the valorization of skills, the transmission of know-how, the pride and the appropriation of places of life by families are the values at the base of projects like this one. It is with pride that we collaborated in the design and planning of the Duplex on Bourassa Street for Habitat for Humanity. We will be pleased to renew our involvement with Habitat for Humanity for the construction of the next building.
