Inspiration for a 1950s dining room remodel in Montreal

This house sits along an array of lakes and canals which highlights the landscape of a golf course. A clear objective of the architecture is to focus on large openings to enjoy the view of the surrounding landscape. Serving the same purpose, the house has been set high on stilts, a clear reference to Thai traditional architecture. The house seems to float in the air. The large cantilevered openings are framed by the stone cladding. Another objective of the architecture is to blend itself seamlessly into the landscape. The two objectives of the stone work were to focus on the large framed openings and to blend into the landscape. The travertine chosen by the architect has a smooth and warm color which blends well with the wood cladding and landscape. It displays complex movements, crystalline veins, and color blends which accentuates its natural character. The challenge was to display this natural character, while ensuring a perfect continuity in the opening frames. The color and pattern of the stone had to continue seamlessly along the four sides of each frame, while still featuring the natural character of the stone. This required long drying times in our factory, and detailed piece-per-piece touch-up to smooth outstanding features of the stone.

This home was designed as a series of objects within a garden - these garden objects are defined by an inner core called “The Rock”, which is then surrounded by one large three story wall called “the Wrap”. The result are interstitial spaces in between the objects that support occupants feeling like they are living outdoors. Furthermore, this residence has been designed to be net-zero energy - to achieve this goal, the structure utilizes operable skylights within the three story stair space to act as the “lungs”, facilitating a stack ventilation feature to cool in the summer, and closing to retain/ transmit heat in the winter. This passive stack ventilation system, in tandem with solar arrays and high performance building systems, will allow for the house to be fully powered off the grid.
