Leaving family, work, and the life you've built behind to find a healthy home is a hard ask. So we're inviting you to bring PurÔme to where you already live.

If three or more applicants from the same region of Ontario or Québec ask for housing, we will seriously consider building a biological plex in that area — designed around the people who applied.

This is an openness, not a promise. We're offering it in good faith with no guarantees attached — but the count starts with you. Apply below and tell us your region, your number of bedrooms, and the rent you can afford.

Pull-quote card — tenant testimonial

"Staying here has been a genuinely calming experience for us. Laura has been kind, understanding, and very approachable throughout our time here. As someone living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS/SCM), feeling safe and able to settle physically is incredibly important, and over time my body has slowly started to decompress in a way I truly needed. We deeply appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, the open communication, and Laura's care in trying to create an environment that feels supportive and grounding for people with sensitivities and unique needs."

From a current tenant living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS / SCM).

Pull-quote card — Laura Scrimgeour

"PurÔme exists because the planet needs healthy humans, and healthy humans need somewhere safe to live. I know that more personally than most."

How PurÔme Began

Built from the
wreckage of a sick home.

Losing my health, my home, and my job to mould — all at once — was harrowing. My husband and I asked ourselves: how do we make this the best thing that ever happened to us?

The conventional path wasn't available to me. I can't tolerate most construction materials, most fragrances, most of what passes as normal. So I had to learn a different way.

The Nicolet triplex is our first proof of concept. The Montclair 4plex is the vision fully realized — purpose-built from day one.
