Mont-Blanc

On a large wooded lot in Mont-Blanc, the challenge looked simple at first: build with precision, without unnecessary flair. GP Architecture answered with a 3,200 sq. ft. residence that relies on material integrity rather than a spectacular gesture. Steel roofing and Eternity-treated cedar were chosen to withstand Laurentian seasons without compromise. LEED-certified, the result proves that restrained architecture can still be highly demanding.
