Hillside Townhouses

Located in Westmount, this project comprises four townhouses whose contemporary architectural language draws inspiration from the neighbouring residential project by architect Norbert Schoenauer, himself influenced by early 20th-century Central European and Scandinavian residential architecture.

The first three units are staggered in a sawtooth pattern up to the fourth, which mirrors the angle of Hillside Street. The volumetric composition plays on the interlocking of a pale brick block and a dark metal cladding, creating openings and generous outdoor spaces. The building rests on a limestone base, while high-relief brick bands add a contemporary texture to the ensemble.

Each unit benefits from outdoor spaces at ground level, on the 3rd floor, and on the rooftop. Access to the terrace is provided through a glass structure that also acts as a light well, channelling natural light to all levels.
