About Triplex Fabre
Nestled in the vibrant Petit Laurier neighborhood of Montreal, the Triplex Fabre project celebrates the city’s rich architectural heritage. Designed by Atelier L’Abri in 2023, this captivating triplex infuses new life into the traditional duplexes and triplexes that line the streets of the iconic Plateau-Mont-Royal district. Preserving Architectural Charm
The project’s design preserves the original architectural elements of the front facade, seamlessly integrating the structure into the surrounding built environment. The restored red clay brick, stone details, and ornamental cornices pay homage to the neighborhood’s iconic aesthetic.
Rethinking Interior Spaces
The comprehensive renovation of this triplex, accommodating two generations of the same family, presented an opportunity to reimagine the typical interior layout. By minimizing the bathroom and bedroom sizes, the design team created open floor plans that maximize natural light and ease of movement.
