The Gillette Building – Designed to perfection amalgamated with simplicity, it is a mark that defines the use of space and light in the best possible way. The architecture of the building is such that it has fluted columns with 9 foot windows and nearly 12 foot ceilings, which offers a perfect canvas for an authentic lofts design.

The Gillette Lofts was started as a thesis proposal by Noam Schnitzer as part of his application to HEC Montreal’s MBA program. There was a partnership with his cousin and Montreal developer Mark Dichter to give the project a live shape. The Gillette building, a five-storey concrete office and warehouse, was built by the Gillette Safety Razor Co. in 1911 as a beachhead for its burgeoning Canadian operations.

Sharing a close distance with many of Montreal’s noted locations such as the Gare Centrale, Palais de Congres, Place Ville Marie, Victoria Square China Town, it is a perfect address to make a urban style living. Though there was an old building that has turned to the existing Gillette Building, it cannot be called as a renovation but more of a restoration. The most beautiful thing about the places is that it allows you to make an expression from dynamic flexible interior spaces from a design that allows modern living to be integrated seamlessly into the essence of the existing structure. The kitchens present an Italic design with designer bathrooms that perfectly integrates modern minimalism with classic industrial architecture. The building itself has clean lines, nine-foot windows, an elegant cornice and, bonus of bonuses, the company’s name and date of construction carved into the pediment over the front door.

With such developments and restorations, Montreal poses a strong essence of accommodations that can fit the need of every visitor. Making itself available in various ranges such as Montreal executive suites, condos and more rentals, the city fulfills the expectations of its visitors in a charming way.
