by CORTE MADERA, Calif. – RH (NYSE: RH) announced today the opening of RH Montreal, The Gallery at Royalmount, which the company described as “an immersive retail experience seamlessly integrating luxury home furnishings collections from RH Interiors, Modern and Outdoor with rare art, antiques and artifacts from across the globe.”
The brand’s first-ever Design Gallery in Québec features a dramatic glass-encased Rooftop Restaurant & Park “offering a thoughtfully curated menu of enduring classics with the freshest ingredients, simply and elegantly prepared.”
RH Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Gary Friedman said, We believe great architecture amplifies and renders our product and brand more valuable. We either find great historical architecture and readapt it, or we build it. RH Montreal is an entirely new design, built from the ground up.”
“The Gallery reflects our quest to continue revolutionizing physical retailing, blurring the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality,” he added. “We are proud to introduce this innovative concept to Montreal and to contribute to the vision of Royalmount as a vibrant new destination.”
Designed as a transparent, multi-level structure, the Gallery features an artisanal brick facade in a custom parchment-cream palette, a contemporary new concept for the brand. Crafted of hand-selected Italian bricks and finished with classic corbelling, the exterior is complemented by an expanse of glass-and-bronze doors that lead to lush garden courtyards and terraces surrounded by a progression of littleleaf boxwoods. As night falls, the Gallery is transformed through dramatic illumination, highlighting its architectural details and landscaping.
Ascending the grand double floating staircase to the third level, guests will arrive at the Rooftop Restaurant where they will encounter an open focal kitchen clad in natural Taj Mahal stone, flanked by a pair of cascading water walls. Set within a year-round, skylit garden escape, the restaurant offers a thoughtfully curated menu of enduring classics and fresh seafood dishes, all beneath a dramatic atrium with sparkling chandeliers, heritage olive trees and a cascading center fountain.
Seamlessly extending from indoors to out, the restaurant opens onto a beautifully landscaped Rooftop Park. Influenced by the great classical gardens of Europe, this immersive destination encompasses a series of intimate RH Outdoor lounge spaces defined by a layered composition of London plane trees, shade canopies, sculptural evergreens and French limestone fire tables.
Occupying the second level, the RH Interior Design Atelier offers clients an unprecedented level of professional design services, including private client presentation rooms with state-of-the-art technology, design libraries showcasing a wide assortment of textiles, furniture and lighting finishes and an RH Rugs showroom presenting an exclusive collection.
Commanding the center of the ground level will be the Great Room featuring floor-to-ceiling columns. Along the periphery, barrel-vaulted passageways lead to a classical arrangement of rooms presenting artistic installations of RH Collections by internationally acclaimed designers that integrate the brand’s furnishings, lighting and décor.
