La Cadree Perchee is a mountainous home that communicates with nature

In Laurentinians from the Quebeclad, where Maple Groves Cascade is down the slopes towards LAC Franc (Franc Lake), the residence looks less like the built facility and more like the natural extension of the very natural extension of the country itself. La Cadree PercheeDesigned by L’empreinte design architecture For its founder, Pier-Olivier Lepage, is a home where a living environment daily and the surrounding environment are still working together.

Among the crocheted crowns in Morin-Heights, a home 2,100 square foot was conceived in the workplace and withdrawal. For Lepage, who spends a long time it works from home, the goal was to get rid of usual differentiation between the interior and the natural world outside. Each space inside the house is designed to direct attention to the outdoor walls on the ceiling views on the glass frame view of the outdoor as a light, the sky and landscaping. “I spend a lot of time working from home,” says Lepage. “However, I’m better concentrating when I feel connected outdoors. Otherwise, I’m distracting my thoughts to go out of outdoors.”

The orientation of the building is facing East and West, which enables enjoyment of sunrise and sunset, with an internal schedule is carefully considered not to interfere with the views. In certain times, it can be felt suspended above cascading crowns, while it is protected by a shade that provide.

Inspired by the principles of the radiator, the Chamber reinforces the sun presence without the prevalence of its tenants. Wooden frames and outer walls increase the surface of diffusion that allows heat absorption and reflection of light, while the illusion of a home filled with sunlight. This careful consideration does not only react not only on environmental conditions, but also on the psychological advantages of light – supportive focus, peaceful and seasonal prosperity.

Even in summer, the home is a balance. Solar control strategies, paired with natural ventilation, maintain an internal climate, allowing the home to remain comfortable without concealing the nearby landscape that surrounds it.

Inside and out, wood is a key material used. Its raw, textured surfaces mimic the crust of surrounding maples, while his warm tones give by weasel on the leaves. Even the ceiling, composed of simple hairstyles, results in economical, and at the same time the solution was taken. Minimalist interventions – like recessed furniture, kitchen with low profile and storage consolidated in central quantities – some residence breathtaking and leaves the forest as a home The real decoration.

The palette is kept deliberately dim. Bleached concrete floor add brightness and continuity in the entire, white surface mirror snowshot in winter, and a glass without mullion opens wide, not leaving anything to deter the views.

Although the compact trace of the foot, the residence offers spaces tailored to solitude and gathering. Sunken’s living room, inspired by Japanese Kotatsu, encourages maximum enjoyment of socializing around the fire. Bedroom – equipped with a table, soaking the bathtub and expansive wall of windows – becomes a multifunction withdrawal designed for productivity, rest or relaxation.

The two external terraces carved in the facade provide protected spaces for step ahead of the year. In warmer months, operate as shaded points for reading or dining room, while in winter, the continuity of wooden ceilings and walls fogs between indoor and outdoor, inviting residents to inhabit sharp air without heatless air.
