La Breche House

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.
