Learn how to maximize space in a two-storey condo. Suzanne Dimma tours a unit in Montreal's iconic Habitat 67 building, designed by Canadian architect Moshe Safdie in the 1960s. See how the homeowners updated their loft with a modern white Bulthaup kitchen, light-filled atrium library, cosy principal bedroom and luxurious ensuite bathroom.

See photos of this loft in the April 2012 issue of Maison & Demeure.
