8 Live/Work Spaces We'd Move Into in a Heartbeat
7 of 9
Peeling back layers of construction dating to 1880, the architecture firm L. McComber ltée tackled this renovation of a Montreal attic to create a bright and inviting master suite and artist’s studio. When an existing ceiling was removed during the demolition process, a higher, sloped roof gave the attic an additional five feet of headroom. The architects took advantage of the generous 13-foot ceiling height, creating an airy, bright space that is oriented around a central volume that houses the bathroom. The wooden shelves of the volume were fashioned from hemlock planks that were salvaged during the demolition of the roof structure.
