Résidence de la clairière

In Morin-Heights, the site was anything but ordinary: a former quarry, raw and mineral. Ensemble turned that condition into an asset rather than a constraint, designing a 4,200 sq. ft. residence where Lifetime-treated cedar cladding brings warmth in contrast to the site’s rugged character. The result is a home that feels as though it has always belonged to the landscape it occupies.
