La Breche House
- Year
- 2021
- Location
- Montreal, QC
The La Brèche house results from the refurbishing and expansion of a Notre-Dame-de-Grâce residence for a couple and their four children. Balancing preservation and renewal, APPAREIL Architecture put forth audacious interventions, including the bold decision to vertically perforate the home.



“You feel good in an architect’s house, but you aren’t able to explain why. There is an impression of well-being, of comfort.”
Olivia Tremblay, co-owner
