Atelier LaCarré is a small design and renovation company based in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 2013, Atelier LaCarré has dedicated its work to transforming existing residential properties, bringing them in line with modern tastes and needs. The firm's focus is on creating spaces that are functional and open; walls are replaced with structural beams and generous fenestration. Original elements are maintained and enhanced; brick, wood and stone are leitmotifs that bring warmth and intimacy to their design. The incorporation of modern materials, such as steel, glass and corian ensure efficiency and permeability.
For Atelier LaCarré, a home extends beyond the built footprint and even beyond the limits of the property line. For this reason, the entire Atelier LaCarré portfolio boasts irresistible outdoor spaces. All projects to date incorporate multiple terraces built from locally sourced wood. Mature trees and natural landscaping are preserved and introduced to take advantage of non-built areas. Finally, where buildings once turned their backs to mountains, landmarks and skylines, Atelier LaCarré has sought out these elements and brought them back to the vision-field.
Another priority for the design team has been to minimize its carbon footprint, both during the renovation process and over the lifespan of its constructions. Where possible, materials are reused or rehabilitated, both within and between projects. Energy-efficiency is the key characteristic of the building envelopes while appliances and fixtures are carefully selected for their environmental performance.
