Residential transformation in Montreal: the importance of structure<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Residential remodeling requires a solid, well-assessed structure from the outset. Floors, partitions and beams must be adapted to avoid cracks, settling or long-term problems. <\/p>\n

At Constructions Max Larocque, each transformation project is analyzed upstream using our technical services and plans,<\/a> to ensure that the work is compliant, durable and safe. This approach also enables coherent integration with our interior design service<\/a>, for a result that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. <\/p>\n

In most interior renovation projects, whether for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms or other areas, it’s often necessary to consider the layout of adjacent rooms. A judicious redistribution of space can make your interior more functional. Our design department can offer you customized solutions to suit your needs and budget. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We added this mezzanine to the roof of a condominium building. Part of the new mezzanine enabled us to raise the ceiling of the dining room and integrate the new living room into the mezzanine level. This new living space allowed us to completely reorganize the existing level, making it more pleasant to live in. <\/p>\n

More light<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The addition of the mezzanine allowed more natural light into the condo by adding windows in the mezzanine area. Our team of design, estimating and construction experts managed to find the right solution to the lack of space and light within the owners’ budget. <\/p>\n

We created this transparent central staircase as part of the conversion of a duplex into a cottage. Composed of wood, steel and glass, this staircase became the central architectural element of the project. <\/p>\n

Harmonizing floors<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The staircase was designed to visually link the floors and harmonize the finishing materials. In this case, we suggested to the owners that they opt for modernity and transparency to create a staircase that doesn’t block natural light. <\/p>\n

This project is a good example of the transformation of an existing building with a contemporary update of its interior design.<\/p>\n

Given the limited number of single-family homes available in certain Montreal neighborhoods, converting a small duplex into a cottage can be an advantageous option. Although generally straightforward, this transformation can sometimes require complex work. <\/p>\n

Respect for period character<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As part of this project, the owners decided to reconfigure the interior layout to suit their needs. The renovation of the upstairs access staircase was a major undertaking. The constraints of the City of Montreal, which often authorizes interior conversions but is reticent about exterior transformations, meant that the appearance of the original duplex had to be preserved. <\/p>\n

Effective coordination between our design and construction teams made it possible to modify the spaces while preserving the character of this old building, thus satisfying municipal requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The new owners of this multi-unit building wanted to transform it into condominiums while preserving its period character, both inside and out.<\/p>\n

Attention to detail<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

To bring authenticity to this old building, we took care of many details. Stained glass was fabricated for the front windows, lace-stained wood balconies and curved wrought metal for the railings. Inside, cladding and finishes were inspired by the original building. <\/p>\n

By opting for our renovation expertise, the owners replaced all the windows and improved the insulation of the walls and ceilings, guaranteeing the building’s energy efficiency for many years to come.<\/p>\n

The multiplication of partitions was darkening the rooms in this house. As part of a complete renovation, we suggested enlarging the windows and building a new staircase to let in more light. <\/p>\n

Contemporary materials and design<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

White predominates in contemporary architecture, visually enlarging the space and reflecting the light. The steel staircase with wooden treads underlines the modern character of the design. <\/p>\n

Our expertise was also called upon to modify the rear roof, redo the kitchen with a large quartz island, and design a welcoming space for numerous guests.<\/p>\n

In this project, we completely renovated the exterior of the cottage, including insulating the walls and roof, to solve two problems.<\/p>\n

Correction of two problems<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The roof presented a recurring problem of condensation in winter, which was solved by improving insulation and ventilation. In addition, the poor insulation of the walls and roof caused discomfort in winter. <\/span><\/p>\n

We recommended a complete re-roofing and better insulation, while improving the building’s exterior aesthetics. <\/span><\/p>\n

From the very first winter after the work was completed, the homeowners saw increased comfort and savings on their heating costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The growing demand for open-plan living among homeowners requires careful planning. Removing interior partitions goes beyond appearances; it involves structural modifications, considerations for services, ceilings and floors. Both aesthetic and technical planning are essential. <\/p>\n

Difficulty anticipating <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Some partitions carry the weight of the ceiling and need to be replaced by a system of beams and columns. They often pass through electrical wiring, plumbing or ventilation ducts, requiring sometimes complex relocation. Removing partitions can create holes in floors and affect the aesthetics of ceiling mouldings. <\/p>\n

Our experienced design, estimating and construction experts advise homeowners to avoid costly or inappropriate work.<\/p>\n
