The homes you find in and around Montreal are pretty affordable compared to most of the other big cities in Canada. 

And if you thought $10,000,000 got you a lot of house ON the island, you have no idea how much you can buy in Montreal's off-island suburbs like Sainte-Julie.

With the right strategy, you can do a lot with a finite amount of space. That goes double for a living space, as architect Anik Peloquin proves in this spectacular home.

Crisp blue; calming wood-like brown; vibrant green. These are the colours of summer we look forward to seeing ever year, especially right now in the dead of winter. And no Montreal home showcases the wonderful hues of the summer season quite like the Prince Philip Residence.

Only one of these features of a living space is enough to make the average Montrealer go wild, but all three?
