Portland Residence / Atelier Barda architecture

The Portland Residence on the Island of Montreal: a full renovation with classic, timeless lines. The Portland Residence is a historical stone house located in the Town of Mount-Royal, a “model city” built in the early 20th century. The architectural firm Atelier Barda entirely renovated the property and created a custom furniture collection through its new Foraine par Atelier Barda division. The architects’ mandate was to renovate all the spaces in the three-storey house, totaling 3,000 square feet, and to add an extension at the back. Important considerations in the redesign were the house’s location in the heart of the garden city and a desire to respect the heritage value of the surrounding built environment.
