Although Moulinette Island appears to be a natural setting, it is in fact a fabricated landscape formed by the opening of the Saint Lawrence Seaway created in the mid 20th century. Therefore, the project proposes a direct relationship to the sky, horizon and wind rather than its immediate suburban surrounding.
The plan is conceptually developed as a maze of spaces interconnected by voids procuring micro spaces that can be recuperated by the inhabitant: Small inner courtyards blocking the winds, semi-open spaces protected from the rain and spaces lit from the sky marking specific areas.
These features, along with generous portions of glass opening up on the horizon, blur the boundaries between interior and exterior to provide a complex relationship with the landscape, amplified by the many artificial reflections of the glass or metal surfaces. In a way, it sets the house in an unstable condition of permanent reshape. It becomes a device to perceive the landscape rather than a fixed, self referenced architecture. As an analogy to the transformation of landscape by humans, the project also introduces temporality.
