Panorama house in Sainte-Adèle, Canada by Blouin Tardif Architecture-EnvironnementFebruary 10th, 2015 by Sumit Singhal

Sitting on a typically rolling Laurentian site, the house is based on a simple rectangular volume.  Image Courtesy © Blouin Tardif Architecture-Environnement

Once inside, the visitor is beckoned upward by a stairway. The design strategy was to put daytime activities (dining room, kitchen, living room, porch) together on the upper floor in order to make the most of the view and natural lighting. The rooms are carefully thought out as a panoramic series running along the southeast side, ending with the porch. A cathedral ceiling provides the most expansive volume possible on the second floor. Inside the large common area, two volumes finished in eastern cedar divide the space. The first volume holds a steel fireplace, and the second houses functional spaces: kitchen, pantry, washroom. Orange highlights spark warm memories.
