La SHED reimagined a historic duplex in the central neighborhood of Montreal, renovating the property while leaving its street-facing facade intact. The rear of the duplex is clad in locally sourced eastern white cedar, set in a herringbone pattern. Naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insect infestation, this local timber has been used for generations of buildings across Quebec. The once dilapidated double-story space is now a light-filled family home.
