Located at the extreme edge of a coveted Montreal neighbourhood, the design of the U House responds to a harsh urban context, respectfully shutting out the outside world by concentrating services around the periphery.Space along the inside of the U is thus liberated and attention is focused towards the inner core.Constructed with the precision of fine cabinetry, the articulated panels of wood, glass and steel that line the courtyard open and close to invite the outside in and the inside out with seasonal regularity.via dexigner and Archdaily/ photos marc cramer
