A Farm House Restored with a Touch of Contemporary Elegance Celebrates and Preserves the History and the Livability of a 200 Year Old Loyalist Hamlet in the Eastern Townships
ADHOC architectes
ADHOC Architectes is restoring and adapting the annex of the farm house built by loyalist settlers in the township of Shipton to meet the growing needs of a new family. Denison House is one of the last vestiges of an era. Built in 1831 by Simeon Minor Denison, the house was the Denison's home until the 1980s. The new occupants, a couple with a passion for history and literature, settled there in 2006 with the plan to raise their three children there.

ADHOC Architectes was given the mandate to carry out a new contemporary renovation for this almost bicentennial home, respecting the historical heritage of the place. The clients sought to increase the square footage of their living spaces by converting a historic outbuilding of the house into a library open to the surrounding landscape, as well as an office space, garage and future dormitory.

Beyond the sensitivity to the architectural heritage, the reuse and development of the existing building was deemed more ecological than demolition and reconstruction.

Once the decision was made to keep the structure of the annex, the architects reinforced it with salvaged hemlock beams. Hemp wool, an ecological material produced locally in Val-des-Sources, was chosen for the insulation of the building. For the roof, the architects chose sheet metal for its durability.

To reconnect the new residents with the surrounding landscape, the architects created openings to integrate large windows on either side of the building. For the exterior cladding of the annex, the architects used cedar shingles and clapboard painted white.

Like a landscape evolving over time and marked by the years passing through it, the volumes that make up the residence subtly express the contrast of the eras to which they belong.

The annex has always been connected to the stone house. ADHOC Architectes reworked the space connecting the two volumes, maintaining the existing openings in the three-foot-wide walls of the Denison House in their entirety.
