Le Binôme, designed by APPAREIL Architecture, is a residential project located between a duplex and a multi-unit building. The owners saw the opportunity to create a place that promotes cohabitation and comfort, while respecting its urban environment.

The puRE series

The windows of the puRE series, fixed and tilt-and-turn, were chosen for their sleek design and optimal energy performance. They ensure optimal comfort indoors while allowing maximum light to enter. At the front, the windows are aligned with the neighbouring templates, thus respecting the proportions of the surrounding buildings. At the back, they offer a generous opening with assemblies exceeding 14 feet, creating bright and open spaces.

The puRE glass doors mark the main entrance. Its slim frame, in a distinctive colour, blends in with the uniformity of the brick façade. At the back, the solid steel doors match the same shade. From the stairs to the window frames, including the outdoor lighting fixtures, the color is consistent across all metal elements, creating a tone-on-tone effect.

The inner courtyard plays a central role in the brightness of the project. In addition to providing a common space where residents can meet, it allows for windows on two facades in each unit. This front-to-back configuration maximizes the entry of natural light into the units, creating bright interiors. In front of the opening windows, guardrails provide security without interfering with the light. At the front, the metal railings recall the lines of the exterior stairs, while at the back, the glass models let in as much light as possible.

In line with our mission to create bright spaces, this project benefits from custom fenestration that goes beyond technical requirements. It supports the architectural approach while promoting a living environment that is functional, bright, and sustainable.
