MONTREAL, Aug. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carbonleo is proud to share the first architectural details of the 18 lavish residences that will be integrated within the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Montreal, setting the bar for luxury accommodations in the city. Located at the heart of Montreal’s historic luxury district, the dazzling Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Montreal is set to open by late 2018 and, thanks to a unique concept inspired and created by a team of internationally renowned architects and designers, will help redefine residential splendour in the city.
A team of partners assembled by Carbonleo and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts have successfully designed and produced a world-class living environment that reflects Montrealers’ creativity and talent. Architectural firms Sid Lee Architecture and Lemay (architectural concept), designer Philip Hazan (private residences), interior designers Gilles & Boissier (design of hotel, recreation and relaxation spaces) and interior design firm Atelier Zébulon Perron (restaurants and bars) have worked in true synergy to create a sensational hotel and residential complex that blends timeless refinement with contemporary style. General contractor Pomerleau, recognized for the excellence of their work, is acting as project manager.
Visit lesresidencesprivees.com to get a sneak peek of the private residences. These unique accommodations – described as homes in the sky – are enhanced with one-of-a-kind design features, including 13-foot ceilings. Each residence’s interior will be extended with either a private terrace – stretching up to 2,320 square feet – or by a classic-style loggia. Residents with south-facing terraces can even enjoy the charm and comfort of an outdoor fireplace. Wide floor-to-ceiling bay windows and glass railings on the terraces will offer breath-taking views of the city skyline and – thanks to various controls available to residents –will set the scene for warm and intimate moments between families and friends.
The distinguished and historic building will be enveloped by a crystal-grey- tinted glass curtain wall with a gold-finished, superimposed metal screen, providing residents with 100% UV protection. A granite wall will feature glass and golden mullion insertions. Finally, rounding out an exceptional service offering, a champagne-coloured, metal grate will extend above the commercial portion of the new Holt Renfrew & Co flagship store, and connect indoors to the hotel and residences complex.
