"Located in the municipality of Saint-Ferreol, Quebec, the secondary residence presents itself as a retreat removed from the everyday, a place of escape that lives to the calm rhythm of the forest. The existing building bears the imprint of architecture inspired by Austrian chalets: a compact elevated volume, a light base, generous roof overhangs, and a strong presence of wood."
"These qualities, highlighted and carefully revealed, guided the integration and design of the extension."
The project is a secondary residence in Saint-Ferreol, Quebec conceived as a retreat that responds to the calm rhythm of the surrounding forest. The existing house displays Austrian chalet influences characterized by a compact elevated volume, a light base, generous roof overhangs, and a pronounced use of wood. The design approach emphasizes and carefully reveals these defining qualities. The extension was integrated and designed to align with the original building’s volumetric and material language, reinforcing the sheltering, rustic character while framing an escape from everyday life within the forested setting.
