A Place to Live

Maison Beausoleil offers more than accommodation. It offers time to live, time to work, and time to develop ideas.

Its two-level layout allows the different parts of daily life to find their own rhythm, with distinct spaces for resting, working, cooking and spending time alone.

Whether you come to Ottawa for research, creative practice, remote work, or simply a different experience of everyday life, Maison Beausoleil offers a place to settle in and live independently.

It is not a hotel or a conventional short-term rental. It is a home designed for longer stays, everyday living and a more considered experience of time.

As the first Living Commons within Time Commons, it connects everyday living with a broader platform of ideas, people and public practice.

Who It Is For

Maison Beausoleil welcomes people who need to spend a month or longer in Ottawa and are looking for a stable, private and fully furnished place to live.

Residents may be artists, writers, researchers, visiting scholars, designers, independent professionals, remote workers, or people moving through a period of transition or change.

There is no requirement to complete a particular artwork or project. We are interested in why this period of time matters to you and how the stay may support your life, work or thinking.

Time Commons

Time Commons is an evolving platform exploring how people live, create, learn and collaborate through shared time.

Maison Beausoleil is its first Living Commons — the first physical place where these ideas take shape.
