Habitat 67 holds much allure for architectural, history, and vintage enthusiasts such as myself, although most either hate it or love it. Built for the ’67 Expo and designed by McGill University’s Moshe Sadie, Habitat 67 was a social experiment, architectural innovation, and art expression rolled into one. Comprised of 354 cubes, nearly 150 homes are tucked between the majestic river, city lights, nature, and the sky. While there are an abundance of photos of the exterior of Habitat 67, it is hard to find interior photos of this revolutionary architectural statement…until today!
During my search for vacation rentals in Montreal, I gravitated towards finding one for a several month stay in Habitat 67. Lo and behold, I found one with gorgeous photos that give us a peek into the beauty and innovation of Habitat 67, inside and out. I love how there is a wonderful nod to vintage, mid-century modern inspiration, yet the space still feels quite cutting-edge — which is quite an architectural feat. My favorite is the final photo, where the beauty of Habitat 67 really shines in how it innovatively and inspirationally connects the building with unique viewpoints. You can almost feel the rush of the river beneath you through the unique view in the concrete wall.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed about the availability of this vacation rental for my upcoming jaunt to Montreal!
