The Montreal International Design Show will, for the first
time in its 25 year history, will have a modular home on display.
The Pur-Z model from Bonneville Industries is a red
cedar-clad home with clean, contemporary lines and a Zen vibe.
The house is one of many attractions for visitors to the
design show, which is open to the general public on May 25 and 26.
The two-level house, developed as part of a new high-end Pur
series by Bonneville Industries, builder of pre-fabricated homes, and the
Montreal architectural firm Blouin Tardif, features a modular structure that,
as Bonneville co-president Eric Bonneville explained in an interview, lends
itself to factory construction.
The Pur-Z, as this high-end prefabricated modular home is
called, is to be unveiled at the design show. The home’s two bedrooms are on
the main floor, with the master bedroom opening onto a private terrace; the
principal living space, an open area featuring a living room, kitchen and
dining area, is upstairs on the second floor.
The house, which has a $450,000 price tag, is one of five
homes in the Pur series. The interior can be customized, Bonneville explained;
the configuration of the rooms can be changed, for instance, as well as the
windows.
