ARCHITECTS PROJECTS
FLUID CONNECTIONS WITH THE NATURAL SETTING OF BROME LAKE Muuk Architecture, in collaboration avec Adurra Doors & Windows This house, designed by Muuk Architecture, is located on an enchanting site on the edge of Brome Lake in southern Quebec. Built-in place of an old chalet on the tip of Cedar Bay, the clean and sober lines of the new residence highlight the surrounding nature. With openings onto the lake at the essence of the project, and being its initial inspiration, the architects chose Adurra products for the framing of the spectacular discoveries.
CLEARING ON THE HORIZON The terrain slopes gently towards the lake, presenting numerous challenges, and accommodates a volumetry deployed according to the specific topography situated inside of the margins, and outside of the wetlands and riparian protection strips. The ground floor slab unfolds beneath the drop. Respecting the majestic views, a few steps separate the entrance from the living areas, as well as the dining room from the living room, thus allowing for perfectly unobstructed views of the horizon from each zone of the house. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are organized on the ground floor, while the more intimate bedroom areas are located upstairs. A transparent office on the upper level is strategically placed at the heart of the house, offering a view of the lake and the central walkway overlooking the main entrance. In addition, a stand-alone garage studio can accommodate guests on its upper level, with space to store a boat on the ground floor.
