Nous avions le rêve de construire un chalet pour notre grande famille, et elle a tout de suite compris ce que nous recherchions. Elle a conçu un espace qui nous ressemble vraiment.

Our experience is absolutely fantastic ! > Their professionalism, talent, as well as their enthusiasm makes the realization of our dream home heartfelt and motivating ! > It is a great privilege to have this firm throughout our once in a lifetime journey ! **Comment from GHOCHE ARCHITECTE:** > Thank you so much for your review, it means a lot to us. > Great clients make a great collaboration and therefore a successful project! **★★★★★ — Judy Garfin, Nov. 2022** > Ghoche Architect was recommended to us by friends who had commissioned the company to design a large country house in the Laurentians. We needed help re-imagining and designing new fireplaces for our existing country home close by after we suffered a flood there. We lost the two very unique hand-crafted fireplaces we had that were designed by the architect who created and built our house in the late 90's. The fireplaces we had were central to the concept and beauty of the house. They were large imposing wood structures that defined the space between the dining room and the living room on the main floor. and in the basement, beautifully contributed to a second living space there. When we were faced with the challenge of replacing them, we requested from Rita Ghoche that she design something that would be very different. We wanted the new fireplaces to be elegant, more minimal and modern, and in some way, hearken back to the original designs. Through open and always welcomed discussion, Rita skillfully and sensitively perceived our request and created two wonderful designs that are excitingly new but at the same time conceptually very much a part of architectural integrity of the house. We could not be happier. She has since been willingly available and accessible throughout the construction phase, in contact with the contractor when necessary and available to us if we have questions or concerns. She has also answered my design question around other aspects of the reconstruction like tile choices, paint colour, countertops. She is a pleasure to work with. Her sense of design is at once contemporary and clean with great attention to detail, and at the same time elegantly warm. Her concept as an architect is to allow the natural beauty of the landscape to be the primary focus of her work. **Comment from GHOCHE ARCHITECTE:** > Dear Judy, > Thank you very much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to work with you although the project wasn't very big, I'm happy that I was able to contribute to it's design and I can't wait to see the end result. > Hope to collaborate again some day! > Rita Ghoche **★★★★★ — jérémie, Oct. 2022** > la meilleur équipe que je pouvais avoir pour mon projet d agrandissement dans Montréal. Très disponible , un travail excellent et des références et conseils pour suivre l'évolution . encore merci **Comment from GHOCHE ARCHITECTE:** > Bonjour Jérémie! > > Nous avons également eu une très belle collaboration de votre part et sommes très heureux que vous ayez apprécié nos services. > > Merci pour votre commentaire. > > L'équipe de Ghoche architecte **★★★★★ — Luc Fortin, Oct. 2021** > Rita and the team at GHOCHE Architecte did a fantastic job on our country/lake home renovation and addition. The approach was very collaborative, thoughtful, methodical and thorough! The end result is spectacular! The vison for the work was masterfully delivered to our utmost satisfaction. I would highly recommend their services! **Comment from GHOCHE ARCHITECTE:** > Thank you Luc and Joelle for your kind words. Always a pleasure to work with amazing clients like you! Wishing you lots of magical moments at the lake! **★ — Jayne Pollock, Oct. 2021** > Avoir à apporter de nombreux changements coûteux aux plans pendant la construction pour se conformer aux codes standard. Des informations clés et des mesures manquantes sur les plans fournis rendent la construction difficile pour tous les entrepreneurs utilisant les plans. **Comment from GHOCHE ARCHITECTE:** > Bonjour Jayne, > Je suis vraiment déçue et surprise d'apprendre ceci puisque le déroulement du projet s'est bien passé et nous avons toujours eu des échanges harmonieux. Ceci dit, j'aimerais avoir l'opportunité d'en discuter avec vous. Nous avons toujours été à votre écoute et avons travaillé fort pour trouver des solutions à vos multiples commentaires.

It's an old semi-commercial building in bad condition, so this was not an easy task. On my first meeting with Rita, I immediately felt confident about their services. They were always available to answer my questions, and I felt they quickly understood my project. They brought insightful ideas, and I was amazed when I saw the first draft of the plan. I highly recommend them! **Comment from GHOCHE ARCHITECTE:** > Thank you Benoit for trusting us with your project. It was a pleasure working with you! ## Selected projects - [Lake Archambault - Beach house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-archambault-beach-house-pj-vj~7730425) - Location: Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm, QC - Photos: 21 - [Lake Arthur house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-arthur-house-pj-vj~7053653) - Location: Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, QC - Photos: 20 - Description: Lake Arthur house is a new build chalet on a quiet lake near St-Donat.
