" Outside , at its furthest point , the roof projects 14- feet outwards , providing protection against Quebec ’ s notably harsh winters and warm summers ."
A PROTECTIVE AND ENVELOPING WING
Inspired by a bird ’ s unfolded wing , the residence ’ s distinctive , undulating , and architecturally conceived roof follows the volumes of its interior spaces . The interior wooden ceilings comprise a series of triangulations at varying heights - some at twenty-five feet - creating both unique and dynamic spaces . The floor-to-ceiling windows follow these same angles .
The residence ’ s design program , selection of finishes , textures , and materials , and meticulous detailing allow it to stand out , while harmonizing with its surrounding environment .
ARCHITECTS FOCUS
The harmony and richness of the interior finishes , textures , and materials exude a warm and exclusive feel . The lighting and mechanical systems have been thoughtfully integrated and concealed within the wooden ceilings , becoming virtually invisible .
Outside , at its furthest point , the roof projects 14-feet outwards , providing protection against Quebec ’ s notably harsh winters and warm summers . On the residence ’ s horizontal axis , a linear terrace extends from one end to the other to connect principal interior spaces , including the main living area and the masters ’ quarters , to the common outdoor spaces and infinity pool . The same can be said for the ground level patio . As such , each access point and the indoor and outdoor activities are protected from the elements .
A CHEF ’ S KITCHEN
The kitchen ’ s design accommodates daily family needs , yet it is also suited to a chef and an accompanying culinary team in the case of catered events and parties . By means of a concealed door and a built-in curtain , the service kitchen can be separated from the rest of the residence . Walnut panels enclose a volume comprising a kitchen , a dinette , a library , and half of a double living room . The warmth and richness of the wood complements the stone and steel of the central fireplace .
