The Montreal-based studio Yiacouvakis Hamelin Architectes has completed the La Luge project in 2011. This nearly 1,300 square foot single story secondary home is located in La Conception, a village and municipality in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada.
"Mostly dedicated to the enjoyment of Quebec’s winter, la Luge is a secondary home lying in the midst of the forest".
"Nestled on its site, surrounded by dense vegetation preserving the house’s privacy, la Luge integrates a private spa which occupies almost a third of the usable area, adding on to the traditional countryside living spaces".
"While La Luge as a compact scheme meant to accommodate a large number of guests, the house’s spaces can be reconfigured into diverse geometries: using large sliding doors, the users may transform the children bedroom into a playground or a guest bedroom, more of less opened onto the main living spaces".
"The project is made out of two embracing volumes set on different levels - one dark, one light, thus creating distinct spaces, freely merging one into the other".
In this wood shell made of essences of cedar, solid oak and walnut, the atmosphere is soft but bright.
