Habitat 67: Um- und Innenausbau einer Wohnung in dem denkmalgeschützten Wohngebäude von Moshe Safdie Montreal, Kanada
A residential interior precedent demonstrating the integration of a custom bulthaup kitchen, steel staircase, and double-height volumetric transparency.
- What we like about this project
- A continuous window shelf aligns precisely with the kitchen counter depth, extending sightlines to the exterior foliage.

- Geometry
- Double-height volumetric space intersected by an open cantilevered steel stair and a glass-fronted mezzanine loft overhead.
- Structural guess
- Exposed steel stringers for the stair and structural steel supporting the mezzanine floor slab.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height residential interior; human scale anchored by standard kitchen counter heights and stair treads.
- Lighting
- Bright diffused daylight entering from a large corner window, augmented by under-cabinet task lighting and a warm pendant.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, luminous, and spatially dynamic with warm wood tones balancing crisp white cabinetry and dark steel.
- Environmental context
- Interior of an urban residential apartment with green foliage visible outside the large lower window.
- Spatial experience
- Gaze moves from the foreground kitchen island upward through the stair void toward the lit upper level and pendant fixture.
- Composition rhythm
- Diagonal rise of the open stair contrasts with the horizontal datum of counters and vertical drop of the pendant light.
