“La Grange”是“Terrass Cap-àl‘Aigle”开发项目的新住所，位于宏伟的Charlevoix地区。它的建筑突出了该网站崎岖的魅力，同时也勾勒出了圣劳伦斯河令人叹为观止的景色。这座大房子坐落在山脊上，周围是邻近的森林，它有两层高，占据了整个建筑的主导地位。

“La Grange”, the new residence of the “Terrasses Cap-à-l’Aigle” development, is situated in the magnificent Charlevoix region. Its architecture highlights the rugged charm of the site while framing the breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River. Located atop a ridge and surrounded by the neighboring forest, this large house dominates the site with its two storey height.

对该地区传统谷仓的重新诠释是建筑理念的动力。完全包裹在深灰色金属包层在其两侧和屋顶，住宅保护不受元素的特点是一个熟悉的形式。在主要体积的三个体积削减，涂上白色雪松板是作出明确的入口在一楼和创造空间的两个梯田在上一层。就像金属皮被剥去，露出更脆弱的内部一样，信封唤起了树皮保护内部核心的想法。

The reinterpretation of the traditional barn found in the area is the driving force of the architectural concept. Fully wrapped in a dark gray metal cladding on its sides and roof, the residence protected from the elements features a familiar form. Three volumetric cuts in the main volume, coated in white cedar planks are made to clearly mark the entrance on ground-floor and create space for two terraces on the upper floor. As if the metal skin had been stripped off to reveal a more fragile interior, the envelope evokes the idea of a tree’s bark protecting its inner core.

这所房子的经验植根于地下室，在它的木质胶布和混凝土形成的墙壁里，在那里有一个大的游戏室和一个儿童宿舍。在地面，主大厅，完全被木材覆盖，欢迎您在一个舒适的温泉般的气氛。从正门可以进入四间大型套房卧室和主楼梯。与白色的雪松墙不同，楼梯的栏杆完全是用生的热轧钢做的。它以令人惊讶的轻盈，充当连接房屋不同层次的主干。

The experience of the house takes root in the basement, within its wood cladded and concrete formed walls, where a large playroom and children's dormitory cohabit. At the ground level, the main lobby, entirely covered in wood, welcomes you in a cozy spa-like atmosphere. From the main entrance you can access four large en-suite bedrooms and the main staircase. In contrast to the white cedar walls, the railing of the staircase is made entirely of raw hot rolled steel. With surprising lightness it acts as a backbone connecting the different levels of the house.

当我们从地下室搬到顶层时，我们进入了可以俯瞰森林和周围地区的生活空间。当我们的眼睛消失在遥远的山脉上时，我们逐渐发现树干、树枝和树叶的框架景观。上层是一个巨大的开放式规划，有厨房、餐厅、休息室和居住空间。辐射混凝土地板的镜面效应突出了空间的流动性，反映了雪松墙和天花板上丰富的自然光。在一个令人印象深刻的大教堂天花板下，一个壁炉被方便地放置在开放式计划的中心，将阅读、烹饪、饮食和放松的各种活动结合起来。空间的氛围使我们感到舒适，就像旧木屋一样。夜晚，微光把天花板滑进阴影中，营造出一种温暖而神秘的气氛，让人想起了传统的陈年之夜。

As we move from the basement to the top floor, we enter the living spaces overlooking the forest and the surrounding area. We gradually discover framed views of trunks, branches and foliage as our eyes are lost over the distant mountains. The upper level reveals itself as a large open plan with kitchen, dining, lounge and living space. The mirror effect of radiant concrete floor accentuates the fluidity of the space and reflects the abundant natural light onto cedar walls and ceiling. Under an impressive cathedral ceiling, a fireplace is conveniently placed in the center of the open plan to unify the various activities of reading, cooking, eating and relaxing. The ambiance of the space plunges us into a comfort similar to that of old wooden homes. At night, low light levels slip the ceilings into shadow creating a warm but mysterious atmosphere that evokes the traditional Québécois evenings of yesteryear.
