Vacation house design should serve its purposes, that is to offer a perfect place to retreat and have rest. This Lac Superieur residence is clinging dramatically to the sloping hill up in the trees of the Laurentian mountains of Quebec, Canada. The house which designed by Montreal-based architectural firm Saucier + Perrotte, stuns with its elegant lines, stylish use of materials and lack of unnecessary distractions.
When it comes to quick view, the building looks just like a disorganized corner of a stylish container-port. Instead it exudes a solitary, silent grace that allows the distinctive, four seasons of the mountain to provide the main attraction. The architect of the house has received the Canadian Architect magazine’s Award of Excellence for this project in 2004.
