Architect Eric Joseph Tremblay of BOOM TOWN, has designed a cottage on the shores of Gate Lake in Harrington, Quebec. This modern cottage is located near the border of a mature cedar wooded area with inclined majestic trunks. The cottage’s exterior covering is made of stones and cedar, natural and site specific materials. The inferior level, where the common living areas are located (living room, kitchen, dining room) is at level ground, allowing easy access to the land by many doors on the tree facades near the lake. This modern cottage has a large terrace next to the master bedroom offers the clearest view of the lake and plenty of sunlight for the occupants. The roof line follows the natural inclination of the site in an attempt to maximize the home’s overall volume. The roof also works to integrate the rest of the structure with its natural surroundings. The superior-level entrance is located under a roof-protected atrium.
