What Our Clients Are Looking for at GDM
Architecture in Quebec is constantly evolving, and at Groupe Desrochers Montpetit (GDM), we have the privilege of closely observing the trends that captivate our clients. In 2025, certain preferences stand out, influenced by a desire for balance between comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.
1. Bright and Open Spaces
Natural light is a top priority. Our clients prefer home designs featuring large windows and open-concept areas that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows are popular choices to maximize brightness.
2. Natural and Local Materials
Wood, stone, and raw finishes are highly sought after. Our clients look for authentic and durable materials, often sourced from local suppliers. This approach adds a natural charm to spaces while reducing the carbon footprint.
3. Friendly and Functional Kitchens
The kitchen remains the heart of the home. Clients opt for spacious islands, smart storage solutions, and built-in appliances. Open-concept layouts allow for seamless interaction between the kitchen, dining room, and living area.
4. Multi-Functional Spaces
Versatility is key. Home offices, adaptable playrooms, and cozy reading nooks are incorporated into home designs. Flexible spaces cater to the ever-changing needs of families.
5. Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Our clients are increasingly mindful of energy efficiency. The installation of high-performance windows, efficient heating and cooling systems, and quality insulating materials are common choices.
6. Integration with Nature
Many projects include terraces, gardens, and outdoor living spaces. Whether to enjoy a panoramic view or create a private oasis, connecting with nature is a priority.
