The Met is a lavish residential setting in the heart of Ottawa’s Centretown neighbourhood that complements and contrasts the traditional Châteauesque structures and landscape of the Parliament district with a balance of classic and modern features.
Luxury meets easy-going comforts in each of its common areas through curated details and materiality, as smooth and flowing design motifs that recall the nearby Rideau Canal: In its double-height hotel-inspired lobby alone, smooth Travertine stone floors feature an introductory lounge with inset carpeting and fireside transitional furnishings with earthy tones, and a broad artwork adorned in shapes from the churning surface of water.
These features extend out to other common areas on the ground floor, and up to a pool area and lounge on the seventh floor. Made luminous by floor-to-ceiling windows, the soft colour palette of the walls’ artworks and reclined seating along the water’s edge are lit up.
Inspired and intimate, the Met’s interiors ranging from a grand entrance to highly styled areas for gathering and relaxing make an impactful first impression on guests, and embrace its residents coming and going with beauty.
