The two rectangular volumes, positioned one atop the other, form the volume of the house by YH2_Yiacouvakis Hamelin Architectes.

Sensitively sited MTR House becomes a backdrop to a rocky landscape

Located on Quebec’s Lac Tremblant, house MTR by Alain Carle Architecte is situated on steep terrain with rocky cliffs. A large flat rock cap on the site serves as a type of natural balcony over the lake and also serves as ‘Level 0’ for the house. This careful siting allows for great views and draws in the monumentality of the natural surroundings.   Félix Michaud The house follows the linear nature of the stone mass. Simple shapes, volumes and repetitive composition reinforce the horizontal appearance of the site from the shore and emphasize the rock cap’s mineral texture. Architecture becomes a backdrop to the main rock. Félix Michaud The building’s form, with a long flat roof de... Más
