Paul Bernier ArchitectsIn 2015, Paul Bernier completed a cedar-clad cottage called House on Lac Grenier (shown), and gave the long and narrow volume a turn near the halfway point. The bend was, in part, his way of maximizing on views of the surrounding landscape in Quebec cottage country. The cedar slat project got mega-attention from architectural press, too, for its site sensitivity. The asymmetry of the project was also designed to work its way between a stream on the south end and a steep slope on the north side.
Why you should know him: Besides its beauty, House on Lac Grenier is sustainable and uses passive solar heating and cooling. The project was a finalist for the 2015 Prix d’excellence de l’Ordre des architectes du Québec. |
