Grand prix du design

With its gabled roof and minimalist architecture, the residence is low and elongated, designed to withstand the west winds. It is inside that the house truly reveals itself. The main body is simple, open, and straightforward, with the living spaces arranged in a series.

Visitors are welcomed into an inner courtyard, a sheltered space planted with native shrubs, leading to a vast covered entrance. Its transparency is captivating… one cannot help but pause, to savor the view through and the light that filters in.

Clad in grey-weathered wood – planks of Eastern white cedar – the house promises to soften under the patina of time.

On the ceiling, the rich color of the natural wood balances the luster of the polished concrete floor, for a unique ambiance, woven with warmth and modernity.
