This light-filled house, an hour and a half from Montreal, is literally hanging from a cliff as its name, “Dans l’Escarpement”, implies in French.
conceptual process started from the idea of defining two compositional axes, creating a cross-shaped patio that articulates the 4 volumes of the project. These volumes were key to achieve an adequate integration between the architecture and its immediate surrounding. The different angles in plan and section that configure the volumes were designed with the purpose of allowing the user to have ocean views from any room, and formally merge with the rocky landscape of the beach.
The building is revitalized with minor interventions and a minimal approach. The facades are cleaned up from additions and the porch is completed. Here the request is binding: do not demolish it.
“We decided to align our proposal to the base grid plan of this construction, which assembles the distribution of spaces around four structural axes every four meters.”

The House is understood as a floating volume on the mountain.A space for contemplation that it’s opened to the views and the garden simultaneously.
