Article source: ANIK PÉLOQUIN ARCHITECTE The environment of this former stationmaster house has radically changed in recent decades. On the west side, the railways have given way to a big park with trees that have since matured. On the east side, there is now a suspended highway that cuts through the city. The renovation and expansion of this property fits into this transformed context.  Image Courtesy © Marc Cramer

The insertion of some wooden slats is an indication of this property’s transformation.  Image Courtesy © Marc Cramer The rear facade faces west and the park. The wood siding prevails and is in harmony with the natural surroundings. The new expansion volume includes the dining room and the deck. The railing is an extension of the wood siding.

Visible from the entrance, this urban nature is an integral part of the property’s busiest common spaces. Only a short distance away from the highway, this renovated property will allow its occupants to live at the heart of nature and take advantage of its variations throughout the year.
