“Perched in an enchanting natural setting, this multi-generational home blends harmoniously into the forested landscape of the Laurentians, near Lake St-Victor. Designed to offer the perfect balance between modern comfort and immersion in nature, the house features a refined yet elegant architecture, creating a true family haven where nature and design coexist in perfect harmony. It embodies the spirit of legacy, where past and present meet, and every architectural detail reflects the deep bonds uniting this family.

The volumes and noble materials blend seamlessly with the surroundings, in constant dialogue with natural elements—rock, trees, and their canopy. The northern and eastern wind that dries the plants and soil, plays a structuring role here, influencing the layout and materiality of the spaces. Carrying strength and character, it inspires robust architectural forms and resilient materials that integrate effortlessly into their environment..."

“...The selected materials, including light wood facades and gray stone at the base of the structure, reinforce the home’s natural connection to its setting while adding warmth and rustic charm. The sleek black metal roof contrasts with the natural tones of the façade, lending a contemporary touch.

The interior layout is designed to maximize natural light, creating bright and welcoming spaces. Expansive windows and open vistas connect the indoors to the surrounding landscapes, ensuring a seamless visual and sensory experience with nature. The interior spaces prioritize comfort and conviviality, with fluid circulation and generous volumes that cultivate a soothing and inviting atmosphere..."

“...Natural stone fireplaces serve as warm focal points in the living spaces, reinforcing the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. Their raw, timeless stone mantels echo the textures and colors of the landscape, adding character and durability while complementing the large glass openings and abundant natural light—achieving harmony between interior and exterior.”

“When selecting the ideal stone for our retreat, perched on a serene, forested mountaintop in the Laurentians, Pangaea® WestCoast® Ledgestone emerged as the perfect choice. We wanted a material that would honor the natural beauty of the region while adding timeless elegance to our sanctuary, and this stone captured both aspects effortlessly.

The textures and color palette of WestCoast® Ledgestone—reminiscent of the rugged rock formations native to the area—blend seamlessly with the surrounding forest. Its earthy tones harmonize with the surrounding forest and the changing hues of the seasons, making our retreat feel like an extension of the landscape rather than an intrusion upon it. This connection to nature was an essential element for us, as our goal was to create a space that fosters tranquility and balance..."

“...WestCoast® Ledgestone also provides incredible versatility, making it a standout choice for interior features like chimneys. Its natural look transforms a fireplace into a cozy, visually stunning focal point that adds warmth and character to any space. The stone's blend of rugged elegance and contemporary sophistication ensures it complements the retreat's overall aesthetic, tying the interior and exterior design together seamlessly.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the durability and weather-resistance of Pangea® Natural Stone was also a key factor in our decision. The Laurentians present a challenging climate, with harsh winters and varied conditions throughout the year. We needed material that could withstand these extremes while retaining its beauty over time. This stone offered the perfect combination of resilience and low maintenance, allowing us to focus on enjoying the retreat rather than worrying about upkeep..."

“...Perhaps most importantly, Westcoast® Ledgestone symbolizes the permanence and grounding we sought to reflect on our retreat. Its timeless quality mirrors the enduring strength of the mountains themselves, and its natural elegance creates an inviting and peaceful atmosphere that welcomes all who visit.

We are very pleased with our choice that has allowed us to create a retreat that not only respects the natural splendor of the Laurentians but also enhances our connection to this remarkable environment.”
