Rivard is a minimal residence located in Montreal, Canada, designed by L’Abri. Located in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal, the project involves the transformation of a typical duplex from 1900 into a two-storey single family dwelling. The original bunk apartments, largely partitioned, give way to a spacious modern residence designed and built by L’Abri. The imagined plan offers residents a unique living environment for the neighborhood, maximizing open spaces, spatial cleansing and finesse of detail. On the ground floor, living spaces unfold in a large crossing space, from the street to the garden. Only the volume of the bathroom is partitioned, also isolating the entrance. The kitchen occupies the center of the floor.

AIA architect David Hertz, known for 747 Wing House, looked to the structure of a butterfly wing when designing this Venice home. The inverted roof of Silver Triangle House (or Butterfly House) captures water that collects in a sump and is used for subsurface irrigation. The roof is just one of the home's sustainable features, which, Hertz says, "are not compromises to the design; they're part of the design." Photo by Laura Doss.
