Before pushing open the front door of this minimalist industrial loft located in Pointe-Saint-Charles, a little context is in order, because some might frown at the somewhat unusual mezzanine bed. You should know that the seller, a fan of motorhome nomadism, needed a Montreal base out of professional necessity.
But ” vanlife A day, vanlife always”: he decided to renovate the place to his taste, to stay there sporadically, between two explorations on the road, for four years. This involves a renovated kitchen and bathroom, as well as the provision of storage spaces and this concrete mezzanine accommodating a queen-size bed. No room to speak of, therefore, but nothing to put off a nomad accustomed to cramped spaces for sleeping. Moreover, this allows the main living space to breathe, with a living area of 760 ft.2 (70 m2 approximately) and high ceilings of 12 ft (3.65 m).
As for the design, since the condo was built in the former Sherwin Williams factory, fans of the industrial style could be charmed, with concrete omnipresent, including the exposed beams. This material is also the guarantee of good soundproofing, a valuable asset in the city.
There are also four spacious and very practical storage spaces for those who are on the move, but want to travel with a light suitcase. And before hitting the road again, more sedentary breaks should cause less hassle thanks to a private parking space.
