Type: MonasteryArea: 4,000 m2Location: Saint-Jean-de-Matha, Québec-Architectural competition - Grand Finalist-This project was completed as part of an architectural competition organized by Notre-Dame-du-Lac’s Abbey located in OKA, in which _naturehumaine was elected grand finalist among 67 projects.Designing a monastery consists first and foremost of striking a subtle balance between opposing forces, between personal and community life, between inner life and openness to other human beings. It also consists of knowing how to offer a sense of solitude without creating an oppressive ambience. It involves creating a relaxing, sober, bare environment without making it cold and lifeless. Finally, designing a monastery is knowing how to take advantage of the light to reveal shapes and the rhythm of day-to-day life.
