Quartz Co Boutique in Montréal, Quebec

3 Nov 2020

Quartz Co Boutique

Design: Quartz Co., Blanchette Architectes and Rainville Sangaré

Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada

Quartz Co, a company specializing in Canadian-made winter jackets, enlisted Blanchette Architectes, Rainville Sangaré, and A+ to develop its first retail space located at 5445 avenue De Gaspé, in Montréal. The furniture was designed and built by Rainville Sangaré, while Blanchette Architectes was responsible for space design. The two firms worked in conjunction with the marketing team at Quartz Co. as well as the project-management team at A+.

“We see this first space as a sort of laboratory; our goal is to open more Quartz Co. stores around the globe in the coming years,” said Francis Guindon, Director of Global Marketing and Communications at Quartz Co. “As part of this exercise, we had to take into consideration the new reality of retail, including a multi-channel brand experience, a high-end approach, a showroom-like physical atmosphere, and a personalized-service strategy.”

“At the architectural level, our mandate was to develop a unique universe by focusing on minimalism, timelessness, and innovation,” said Patrick Blanchette, Architect and President of Blanchette Architectes.

On one side of the space is the workshop. Visible from the street, it proudly highlights the fact that the brand’s wares are manufactured locally. On the other side is the boutique, which features an interplay of lights, mirrors, grids, and screens developed by Blanchette Architectes as well as custom-made furniture by Rainville Sangaré. The mirrored walls, which are punctuated by displays of coats in alcoves, offer an alternate perception of the space, and the double reflection provides the customer with multiple views — useful when trying on clothes.

Rainville Sangaré used its expertise in noble materials and manufacturing processes to create harmony between the presentation of products and the physical and visual comforts sought by the customer. In addition to the furniture, the studio designed a system of stainless-steel poles that don’t need to be attached to the walls; instead, friction and tension hold them in place. Hardware and fastening pieces were left visible to demonstrate the accuracy with which the job was carried out. Ash – locally sourced and FSC-certified – was used because its texture contrasts with the other materials and because it adds a touch of warmth to space.

“It is an approach to design that reveals the quality of materials and the rigor of the workmanship; this aligns with the vision of the company, which also develops its products with this approach,” explained Lambert Rainville, Industrial Designer and Co-founder of Rainville Sangaré.

A combination of industrial precision and artistic sensibility, the design is a reflection of how Quartz Co. creates and manufactures its coats. The interior details speak to the brand’s quest for handmade high-end products. Since the coats are made locally, the design choices for space also had to tell this story, which is why the teams opted for materials such as ash, the most common wood species on the island of Montreal, and solid industrial materials such as concrete and stainless steel.

Modern Farmhouse Design

If there’s a designer that I wouldn’t think twice to give the keys to my house and not worry for a second, it’s Julie Howard for Timber Trails Development Company. Recently, this talented duo built yet another show-stopper home (find the links for their other projects below)! Featuring an inspirational Modern Farmhouse exterior and interiors that are above the norm, this home brings home design to the next level.

Here, the interior designer shares some insights:

“The inspiration behind our Timber Trails Arches were the arches themselves. We used our model plan and modified by centering the front door on the house. This gives you a full view from back to front when entering. We needed to break up the long hallway into the home so we added 4 arches dividing the space. This gives visual interest as well character in what would otherwise be a very large cold hallway.” – Julie Howard.

Main Hallway

Arches, arches and more arches! I would never get tired of them! In fact, I think I would fall in love with this home all over again every time I opened the front door.

Smart Design starts with a Smart Designer

“This Arch bookcase is one of those design details that I had in mind when I was drawing up the plans. I knew these arches would all come together in one section of the hallway where there were arches on three sides and a solid wall on the other. Rather than keep it a solid wall, I was able to borrow space from the dining room alcove to add a bookcase. Of course we needed to arch the bookcase to match the other arches in the space. I absolutely love how it turned out. It is directly in line with the garage door so every time the homeowners come home, it will be their view.” – Julie Howard.

Table – RH – Others: here, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Chairs: William Sonoma Home.

Rug: RH – also available here (on sale).

Be Bold

“The wallpaper from Thibaut is BOLD, fun, and unexpected. Even though this a spec house and has to appeal to any buyer, I have found that people really like when you don’t play it safe. When a house is unique and bold it tends to sell faster. It goes against every old rule of design but I think with the popularity of IG and Pinterest, people really want their house to be a show-stopper!“ – Julie Howard.

Storage

“There is no pantry in the kitchen the way I reworked this plan. I knew I could borrow from the 14’ length of this buffet / bar. I decided to add two closets on either end and shrink up the bar to 8’. These closet doors are right off the kitchen and are easy to access for extra food / serving storage.” – Julie Howard.

Details

Kitchen

“I wanted this kitchen to feel sophisticated. I really wanted to get away from the Farmhouse look that we’ve done before.
