The Playhouse Montreal, Canada

Indee Design, a studio founded by Florence Charron, is proud to present ATELIER CHABOT, a playhouse for kids (and adults!) The challenge for this project was considerate, transforming a duplex into a single-family home in Plateau-Mont-Royal, a residential district of Montreal. On a mission looking to change the lives of their family, the owners were trying to decide whether to take a trip around the world by sea or to purchase a home. This project combines both of those dreams, which seemed to oppose one another. For these great travelers, the notion of travel became the common thread of this project, which inspired the idea of creating a space where the inner child can awaken within.

Initially, the single-family house, built on two floors, was somber, with spaces under severe constraints. The designer, Florence Charron, broke traditional codes, while still conserving certain elements such as the beams and brick walls that enveloped the exterior space. For its circulation, Florence Charron was inspired by Moroccan riads, with the living room located in the center of the house and serving the surrounding rooms.
