Having bought a beautiful plot of wooded land in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, the client dreamt of building a country house that would be perfectly symbiotic with its natural environment.
This rugged, sloped site came to a natural plateau just below its highest point, becoming the perfect location to erect the house.
Two stacked volumes characterize the house; a wood-clad volume anchored into the mountain supports a cantilevering ground floor volume above.
This gable-roofed volume raised into the air gives the sensation that the house is floating amongst the trees.
Expansive views of Mount Orford and the valley below are framed by a long horizontal strip window. The kitchen and master bathroom are carved out of a black volume at the center of the house, dividing living spaces from the master bedroom.
