Set in a beautiful natural setting, this family cottage, designed by Atelier Boom-Town<\/a>, blends into the wooded landscape of the Laurentides, near Lake St-Victor, in the province of Quebec, becoming a true family retreat where nature and architecture merge in perfect harmony. It captures the spirit of heritage, where past and present meet, with every architectural detail reflecting the ties that bind the family together.<\/p>\n\n\n

Inspired by clean lines and a gabled structure, the house’s silhouette combines classical and contemporary elements. Its architecture adapts to the contours of the land, taking advantage of its slopes to offer breathtaking views while maintaining the privacy of each living space.<\/p>\n\n\n

The volumes and noble materials are perfectly integrated into the surroundings, maintaining a constant dialogue with the natural elements: the rocks, the trees and their canopies. The H\u00e2le, the north and east wind that dries the plants and the earth, is here a structural presence that influences the layout and materiality of the spaces. A symbol of strength and character, it inspires robust architectural forms and durable materials that resonate with their surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n

The materials selected, such as the light wood of the facades and the grey stone at the base of the structure, reinforce the natural anchorage of the house, and add warmth and rustic charm. The clean-lined black metal roof contrasts with the natural tones of the fa\u00e7ade, adding a contemporary touch.<\/p>\n\n\n

The terraces and outdoor spaces are designed to fully embrace the landscape, allowing residents to live in symbiosis with nature all year round. These spaces offer the perfect place to relax while admiring the changing colours of the seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n

The interior layout is designed to make the most of natural light, creating bright and welcoming spaces. Large windows and unobstructed views connect each interior space with the exterior landscapes, ensuring visual and sensory continuity with nature. The interior spaces prioritise comfort and conviviality, with fluid circulation and generous volumes that foster a serene and welcoming atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural stone fireplaces serve as warm focal points in living areas, reinforcing the connection to the natural surroundings. Their raw, timeless stone fireplaces evoke the textures and colours of the outdoor landscape. These elements add character and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n

The glazed terrace is designed as a light-filled, south-facing sanctuary, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the rhythm of the seasons, sheltered from the elements. With its large windows and glass doors, it creates a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, offering an unobstructed view of the deciduous forest, while allowing sunlight to flood the space with natural warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n

Atelier Boom-Town<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Atelier Boom-Town, directed by architect Eric Joseph Tremblay, proposes a re-reading of the architecture of buildings on a human scale, working with space, light and materials, based on the original principles of boom-town buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, a Boomtown house is associated with the “mushroom” towns of 1890-1920 created near industrial complexes and mines. It is easily recognised by its simple facade and square shape. Its roof is flat, or almost flat, which was an innovation for the time. The popularity of the Boomtown house was mainly due to its larger space and low construction cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A century later, l’Atelier Boom-Town proposes a re-reading of the architecture of buildings on a human scale, based on the original principles of the Boomtown house. Today, they are inspired by the simplicity and efficiency of these buildings to design contemporary dwellings that, through architecture that is as innovative as it is contextual, improve their environment and the experience of their users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
