" The living room , dining room , and kitchen are organized on the ground floor , while the more intimate bedroom areas are located upstairs ."
“ Away from the hustle and bustle of the city , this house is conducive to lighter , simpler living , while also inspiring creativity and new ideas within the professionals who live there ,” explains Sylvain Bélanger , architect at Muuk Architecture .
ARCHITECTS PROJECTS
MAGNIFIED VISUAL BREAKTHROUGHS
The use of white on the surfaces and black in concave spaces results in a bright and luminous house , enhanced by its natural setting . Visual breakthroughs and a juxtaposition of volumes combine in light and delicate form . The fully fenestrated south façade , as well as terraces arranged on two levels , establish direct relationships with the lake and nature , thus creating strong links and fluid connections between interior and exterior .
The house ’ s southern orientation , with its large openings , allows for the leveraging of passive solar sunshine to naturally warm the polished concrete floors in the form of a thermal mass , complementing its radiant heating system .
“ We chose products from the Essence collection by Adurra , including tilt-and-turn windows and fixed architectural windows which were favored to create a smooth transition to the outdoors . The use of aluminum systems provided superior structural integrity , making it possible to manufacture custom doors and windows outside of the usual standards and space constraints , resulting in a living area in perfect harmony with its surrounding nature ,” concludes Costa Pantazopoulos of Adurra .
