“While Bruno looked after the budget, I took care of the plans for the layout and interior design of the rooms, including the plumbing, electricity, LED lighting configuration, kitchen cabinets, laying of the ceramic, etc. Having full-time jobs, we couldn’t be on-site every day,” recounts Castro.
But Bernatchez’s father has extensive experience in the construction industry and was present to supervise the tradesmen and manage the delivery of materials. Even so, Castro visited the site whenever she had to revise plans with the plumber, electrician, ceramic installer, etc.
The final product is true to Castro and Bernatchez’s vision of an elegant contemporary home inside and out. The juxtaposition of the grey cut stones and brown stained wood combined with black garage doors and trim on the façade makes for an imposing-looking residence with a graphic architectural design style.
