Montreal Architecture Series! Apartment Staircases (Part 7)

Two separated extended staircases leading access to 4 different apartments - with mini balcony near ground level for quick exterior access for smokes just outside the entrance for 1st and 2nd apartment dwellers. These mini balconies are not really balconies, so additional private balconies are presented up top for the 3rd and 4th apartment dwellers. The 3rd and 4th must travel up an additional interior staircases to get to their respective homes on the 2nd level.
 
This is the socialist communal aspect of Montreal architecture. Sharing spaces and entrances. It is a romantic aspect of typical low-rise residential buildings in Montreal, but luckily I live on the first floor, and don't have to deal with stairs in general, salt from boots staining creaky wooden stairs, and the feeling ur walking over somebody's head all the time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A classic Montreal apartment stairway with elegant railway leading to cozily and in grand style to the door entrance. It is rather large widthwise, which usually means it is the grand entrance to in fact two apartment entrances. Sometimes people put potted plants along the railings seated on the steps of the stairs, but it depends. The best looking buildings exterior-wise in Montreal tend to have very little personalisation. The rent is higher, so people do not spend on these fancy places.
 
Most personalized places are places where the rent is cheaper. People do many creative things with the fronts of their building with the extra spending money. But the exact creativity is up for interpretation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Again - Montreal apartment staircases offer a unique birdseye level of beautiful streets below in the many beautiful neighbourhoods in Montreal, mostly in the Plateau. In this case, we see a beautiful birdseye view of a cute top in glorified pain as the camerman films this shameful experience from above: him being massacered by the rude cock that he implants himself painfully on, and the ruthless top grinding his ass upwards to the skies ...
