Pavot rouge

Montréal, Québec

2006 / 2007

Rue Saint-Christophe is an alley-like street on which the majority of buildings have their main façades on the neighbouring Rue Saint-Hubert and Rue Saint-André.

Thus, on Rue Saint-Christophe are found many garages and service buildings, and a few rare residential façades.

It is this status as an almost-alley that gives the narrow street its calm, isolated, and disparate personality formed of brick, concrete, and greenery, as a few backyards give onto it.

Pavot rouge is a flower of macadam, a bright-orange brick pavilion built over the garage of a triplex facing Rue Saint-Hubert.

A calm, private urban habitat in the heart of one of the liveliest neighbourhoods of MontrĂ©al.
