EDITOR ' S CHOICE
A DEVELOPER ROOTED IN THE REGION
The Havre Montcalm project begins with a family history and a love for the land passed down through generations . In 1975 , Jan and Monica Gradek purchased several properties in Montcalm , one of which became the site of numerous family gatherings . Stephan ' s childhood was punctuated by the moments he spent at the " green house ," playing outside with his cousins and coming home just in time for dinner . In 1989 , the house caught fire , but remains for Stephan the cradle of his fondest memories . Now , 35 years later , Stephan ' s mission is to restore the site that once belonged to his grandparents , and to write a new chapter in its history with architecture that pays homage to the unique surroundings .
CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY
Havre Montcalm is a low-density project that spans a territory of 184 acres . By preserving nature to the maximum and limiting the footprint of the homes , the homes are designed to one day be passed on to future generations and to children who , like Stephan Gradek and his daughters , will be able to play in the forest and run in the plains . The project aims to bring together a community of people who care about nature , well-being , and time spent with family or loved ones . The chapel at the entrance of the site will also be preserved and renovated to create a future clubhouse accessible to owners .
