Lac Gordon

In Saint-Hippolyte, Zarate-Lavigne made a bold choice: place the home directly at the foot of a cliff. Instead of avoiding the grade change, the project turns it into a strength, transforming the living area into a true belvedere over the surrounding landscape. The steel roof emphasizes crisp volumes that catch light throughout the day. A 2,400 sq. ft. residence where the site dictates the architecture, not the other way around.
