Being green ain't easy, as anyone who's actually tried to reduce their carbon footprint will be sure to tell you. Simple actions like putting the heat on in your home, or buying your groceries at a chain store can go against a greener lifestyle, making the task of being environmentally-friendly pretty damn difficult.

Not for the folks who live in the "Maison productive House” (MpH) in Pointe-Saint-Charles, though. Designed by Montreal-based architecture firm Produktif, MpH was made with the environment in mind, without sacrificing any modern convenience.

Montreal's hustle and bustle can really get to you after a while. Sure, we all love the city, but everyone needs a break from all the traffic, hipsters, and 9 to 5 grind that comes with just a single week in Montreal.

Urban de-stressing it totally a thing, and there's no better way to remove the anxieties of the city than by getting back to nature. And this home would be the ideal setting to do so for just about anyone.

Montreal is many things, if not expensive. But one area that we are winning, though, is the price of property. Buying a house is a big deal, and requires significant planning and investment. While Montreal may have the highest sales tax around, thankfully it does not have the most expensive houses.

Much like you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, or a person by their appearance, you shouldn't form an opinion on the beauty of a home solely be seeing the exterior. A house can look quaint an unassuming on the outside, while being the epitome of modern design within. Le 205 by Atelier Moderno is a prime example.

Simple, elegant, chic, those are the words we wish described our apartments or living spaces in Montreal, but unfortunately, that's far from the case for most of us. The dream would be a reality if you were living in Kanva Architecture's U110 residence in St. Henri, which is one of the best examples of a trendy modern living space Montreal has to offer.

One of the most quaint, adorable, and inviting homes we have seen in a good long while resides in Montreal's south shore. Titled the Dulwich Residence, as it stands on Ave. de Dulwich in Saint-Lambert, the home is actually a relic of the 1920s recently modernized by Naturehumaine, not that you could even really tell.

Bigger is better, at least when it comes to your living space. Unfortunately, unless you're rocking a full-blown house in Montreal, your apartment or condo is probably pretty small. Living in a large place requires that you live large, because only those making bank can reside in a condo that is swank.

Building a beautiful home doesn't need to be an environmental disaster. While most homes are built with entirely new materials over a long course of time with tons vehicles spewing fumes everyday, thus acquiring a huge ecological footprint, this Montreal home built by Gervais Fortin managed to become a stunning work of architecture without harming good ol' Mother Nature.

Titled Ecologia Montréal, the home was built with the environment in mind, largely constructed out of recycled materials, as is the case with the home's kitchen, walls, and floors. In fact, the house is the first in Quebec to utilize BioGeometry ™ science, a technology which uses natural electromagnetic fields to mitigate the damage man-made energy system inflict on the natural environment.
