A New Chapter in a Victorian Village. On a quiet street lined with welcoming verandas and finely crafted woodwork, two women from Montreal found the perfect place to begin anew. Drawn by the village's timeless charm and tranquil atmosphere, they purchased a neglected 1970s bungalow with a vision in mind.

With its large gallery overlooking the river and its majestic metal roof, Le Grand Bercail evokes a sense of timelessness. A contemporary Quebec house, it is as comforting as it is astonishing. Built to benefit from the sun's energy in winter and increase views in all seasons, it uses its large roof overhangs to reduce overheating during summer heatwaves. The gentle layout among the trees and the palette inspired by boreal tones make it seem as if it has always existed.

Perron Design has applied its signature to a private chalet-hotel for a large, nature-loving family on a mountainside at the top of ski slopes in Quebec’s Charlevoix region. The Perron team’s mandate was to design a family chalet capable of accommodating numerous guests, family members, and friends as not only a meeting place but also a well-being space where everyone feels comfortably at home. The image of a private, luxurious, boutique-style retreat with five suites was clear from the start, both for the team and the client, and there was a collective air of enthusiasm surrounding the project.

Located in a heritage area, near Molson Park in the heart of the Rosemont La-Petite-Patrie borough in Montreal, the project is located on two adjoining lots of land. One of which is vacant and the other occupied by an existing two-storey duplex dating from the 1920s.

Melk Café / La Firme + Alexandre Baldwin

The new Melk Coffee Bar was not only a design-thinking tightrope walk between necessity and esthetics but a reminder of how much thought can go into aspects of design that people might overlook. The difficult space had to fit an existing brand and be elevated for future rollouts.
