Résidence Le Grand Plateau (2014), LaurentiansThe Grand Plateau site overlooks Lac Heron in the Laurentians and has a striking beauty. The idea of creating a platform from which the view could be fully appreciated while respecting the natural balance of the site became obvious upon first visiting the site. From the arrival, the house presents itself as a generous belvedere offering a direct observation point on the lake below. Accessible from a footbridge linking it delicately to the main path, this large terrace is in fact the roof of the house, which is camouflaged on the lower level. Sober, the spatial arrangement is rigorously articulated according to a structural framework of nine squares acting as a basic grid to the composition and allowing the support on pilings minimizing the impact of the construction on the steep site. The house thus evokes its respect for the fragility and beauty of the landscape that graciously welcomes it.

Résidence Les Abouts (2005), Saint-Edmond-de-Grantham, Centre du QuébecA woodland setting in the heart of the forest, this house is a place of communion where art and nature become one. Imagined for contemporary art collectors who dreamed of a spacious and warm home to display their works and accommodate their daily lives, the plan unfolds in two distinct parts separated by a central circulation. The first section, a single-storey building stretching over thirty meters, dialogues with the horizontal line of the river that circles the site. It seems to levitate above the ferns and mosses of the site, carefully maintained by the residents. In contrast, the second part rises on two floors, offering interior spaces that recall those of an art gallery. Everywhere, the openings frame views of the tree trunks, like landscape paintings that naturally dialog with the collected artworks.
