Le Jeune Studio is a renovation that re-uses an 1895 warehouse building in Montreal, Canada. As a work/live space for a filmmaker, it is designed to accommodate a commercial fim studio, living loft, and a third story mezzanine addition with an outdoor roof terrace. The architecture seeks to coalesce these divergent functions into a collective space, which is transparent, flexible, and highly adaptive.

The entrance is accessed through the garage. A bespoke curved glass garage wall connects the entrance with the studio space. A sculpted curving stair, which also acts as a light shaft, creates a dramatic focal point for the studio level. A loft style living space is arranged on the second level in a series of 'plug-in' bays for fluid programming. The roof level addition extends out to a planted roof terrace by means of horizontal louvers. A large light well connects the addition to all levels. The result is a thoroughly integrated fusion of the old and new that delivers a high level of comfort and performance for both living and working.
