The world of architecture lives on beyond the lives of individual architects. This is perhaps one profession that where the life of ones work can move beyond the completed project and become part of a legacy and history. The brick and mortar of a building, a landscape outlives its maker. This is so evident from the sad demise of Dame Zaha Hadid.

She has been celebrated in life and celebrated equally in death. Her prolific, admired, and influential body of work will always withstand the vagaries of life and death. Her groundbreaking architectural approach in a world which often appeared to be one step behind her ideas and enthusiasm will be remembered and passed on to students of architecture.

Les Ensembliers have completed a three-floor, 6,000 square-foot residence that unites three adjoining apartments in the Redpath Lofts. The architects and designers successfully tackled the challenge of rethinking the initial dimensions and purpose of the three distinct units, resulting in a coherent new dwelling that embodies the owners’ personality.

What appears is a rather effective marriage of the space’s industrial origins and the occupants’ personality. The interior spaces were built as an interplay of contrasts between raw industrial character and a taste for luxury and urban comfort.

Redefining a heritage conversion In the early 2000s, the conversion of the old Redpath Sugar refinery into luxury lofts kick-started the revitalization process in Montreal’s Sud-ouest district, near the Lachine Canal, leading to the gradual gentrification of the area. The remarkable transformation of this historic industrial building won several awards, including one from Héritage Montréal in the repurposing category and the Wawanesa Award for Heritage Enhancement.

In joining three separate units in the unique structure, each on a different floor, Les Ensembliers envisioned a coherent new space with a complex personality.

“We did not want the new space to be the simple combination of three different units. We also wanted to leverage the visual power of the building’s industrial character, while getting away from the loft logic of the original conversion,” Maxime Vandal of Les Ensembliers explains.

Long Pool House This is just outside the heavily crowded metropolis of Mumbai.

A second home to a family. The project translates the abstraction of an idea of a holiday home to a space that transcends the man made boundaries of living.

An antithesis to urban scapes, the home is sought to provide all that isn’t.

Creating a Bespoke Residence The bespoke residence at Pali Hill by architect Sumessh Menon Associates is an exclusive retreat for a family of three. While he is the CEO of an international bank, the lady of the house is an educationist at a school, they have a 16-year-old son. The 2400 sq. ft. apartment is a home to a pair of dogs as well. Pali Hill, Bandra is a unique residential zone within the limits of the Mumbai City that boasts of a wide gamut of trees, flowering plants, birds and a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea. Architect Sumessh Menon works holistically to realize the client’s individual vision, the surrounding site demands and intricate details that would shape up the character of the interior space. He ensures the most dynamic and efficient design process by carefully developing each project from concept to post-construction.

Sumessh’s unique design is an outcome of his extensive designing practice carried out in New York, South Africa, Dubai and of course, India.
