Résidence Cédrière

Overview

Wooden slats make up the facades, sometimes acting as protective screens, sometimes framing the landscape. The cedar wood shutters contribute to the project's dynamics; sometimes transparent, sometimes opaque, the contrasting composition of the facades provides a dynamic reading of the building. The wood covers all the walls, from the outside to the inside, aiming to anchor the building to the landscape. From the interior, the large windows fully occupying the wall surfaces blur the boundaries between the seasonal landscapes and the inhabited interiors.

Nestled in the heart of the Bel-Air Tremblant resort, La Cédrière residence is anchored on its site in relation to the roundabout in front and the undergrowth behind. The land, marked by slopes along its boundaries, necessitated positioning the building's core within its limits, enhancing the residence's intimacy and privacy
