House on Lac Charlebois
QC, Canada
On a wooded lot on the shore of Lake Charlebois, the clients wanted to build a contemporary house, luminous and open to the nature. They wanted most of the spaces of the house to be level with the land.
The land is slightly sloping. During a first visit to the site, a perimeter was established to identify the ideal location. The privileged view towards the lake and the south coincide, which guided the orientation of the building.
The L-shape plan
An L-shape plan was chosen for the house. A wing is reserved for the day spaces (kitchen, dining room, living room) and the other wing houses the more private spaces (master bedroom, bathroom, washing). This type of plan allows all the spaces to be oriented towards the south and towards the desired view.
The "L" plan also defines a sunny gallery, hidden from the view of the neighbors and open towards the access to the lake. In the hollow part of the "L", a screened porch is laid out to enjoy the summer evenings.
The two-storey volume
A double height volume is created at the meeting of the 2 wings of the "L". A garage is on the ground floor and the upper floor houses a guest bedroom and an office, which enjoys a strategic position overlooking the lake as well as a view towards the ground floor.
On the outside, this two-storey volume is clearly distinguished from the L-shape volume by its materiality. It is covered with Corten steel (weathering steel), while the "L" volume on ground floor is sided with black dyed cedar.
This distinction is also felt indoors by a double-height space between the 2-storey volume and the one-storey space. A staircase with cantilevered steps made of walnut allows access to the upper floor.
