Atelier Barda architecture

Founded by Cécile Combelle, Julien Pinard and Antonio Di Bacco, initially set up shop in Paris before launching a satellite office in Montreal in 2012. A year later, the firm completed Chalet Forestier (shown), a dramatically minimalist single-storey family cottage clad in blackened CLT. Its mysterious profile offers a bold contrast to the leafy surroundings of Frelighsburg, Quebec. Inside, the space is cozy with split firewood stacked to the ceiling on one wall. Atelier Barda describes its strategy as “refined interventions that aligns with budgets and market constraints.” We like their sensibility of effortlessly twining elegance with comfort.

The studio is a hive of exploration and experimentation. Custom work and construction is part of their practice, as is developing a new line of furniture pieces specifically for their projects.
