Squinting through Quebec's seasonal fluries, one might not immediately register the Nook Residence, an all-white retreat that purposefully blends into the winter landscape. The house, designed by MU Architecture, presents itself to passersby as a blank monolith, yet around the corner, it opens onto Lake Memphremagog through expansive windows and an interior balcony.
Seen from the street, the Nook Residence's white-painted wood exterior vanishes against a snowy backdrop.
An interior balcony on the 3,000-square-foot home's lake-facing side provides a place for outdoor relaxtion in warmer months.
A sober material palette, including polished concrete radiant floors and black ceramic tiles, defines the interiors. The cedar ceilings extend outdoors for continuity.
