From Sylvain Belanger

Nestled in the heart of a vast estate in Estrie, this contemporary residence embodies a seamless harmony between architecture and nature. Built with a wooden structure and expansive openings, it fosters a fluid connection between the indoors and the surrounding landscape, allowing residents to live in sync with their environment.

A skylight running through the roof diffuses soft, ever-changing light throughout the day, enhancing the living spaces. Below, the discreetly integrated pool offers an unobstructed view of the surrounding land, blending effortlessly into the overall design.

Simplicity, functionality, and a deep connection to nature define this home, where design serves as a gateway to an authentic way of living.
