ShoeBox CHB Quiet Urban Renewal: Soft Tones, Tactile Rooms In Montreal
ShoeBox CHB sits in Montreal, Canada, where Alexandre Bernier Architecte reworks a modest shoebox house into a light-filled residence for contemporary family life. The house preserves its humble brick frontage toward the street while a recessed stainless steel volume and calm, tactile interiors recast everyday routines at the heart of the block. Inside, measured materials and clear circulation keep the focus on light, vegetation, and flexible gathering rooms for a growing household.
