Designed by MUUK Architecture, this private residence is located on a sloping lot in the mountainous region of Bromont. The project adopts a restrained modernist approach, combining durability, warmth, and a strong connection to the site.
Built on a garden level, the house follows the natural slope of the terrain. This siting strategy allows for a discreet integration into the landscape, while maximizing views of the surrounding forest. The simple gable-roofed volume is punctuated by vertical glazed openings—on both façade and roof—inviting daylight deep into the living spaces.
Exterior materials were chosen for their longevity and ability to age gracefully. The textured natural stone cladding evokes vernacular building traditions, while the matte black steel walls and roof assert a contemporary line. Wood is used sparingly, inside and out, to soften the ensemble and create a warm continuity with the natural surroundings.
Inside, the spaces are gathered under a large cathedral roof, creating generous, open volumes. The living room, dining room, and kitchen occupy a single linear space with expansive glazing. A stone fireplace—both indoor and outdoor—acts as an anchoring element and extends the living space onto a covered terrace.
The exposed concrete slab on the lower level serves as both thermal mass and radiant heating surface. Architectural detailing is restrained and precise, highlighting the raw materiality of the building.
The interior design, by Montreal-based studio Les Stéphanies, echoes the architectural intentions with a minimal, yet warm palette. Built-in furniture, discreet lighting, and natural tones contribute to a calm, grounded atmosphere.
