Susan and Bart and Lori and Scott own either side of this Westmount, Montreal 1928 Arts and Crafts semi and chose the same architect, R. James Aitken, to put an addition on the back of the structure that would allow both families to expand their kitchens while preserving the architectural look of the structure.
Walking around the neighbourhood, Lori says she and Susan would see other semis that had been renovated at different times that looked “like a dog’s breakfast.” She reasoned that if they “did it together, we could end up with something that looked quite beautiful.”
“This was really Sue and Lori’s project,” confirms Scott, Lori’s husband, adding that the two women assisted the architect by conducting tons of research (Lori comes from an engineering background).Michel Brunelle
