La Maison Gauthier is located in the Canadian province of Quebec, near the city of Mont-Tremblant. The house in a hilly area is surrounded by dense forests characteristic of this mountain region.
On the topic: Architects "Needles": a house on the edge of the forest

The plot is bounded by a stable - the owners' horse farm. The architects of Atelier Barda had to both preserve the view of the beautiful landscape and give the opportunity to contemplate graceful animals.

They created an impressive brick facade with one uncentered arch. This is the main entrance to the house.

The house is designed with an asymmetrical V-shaped plan and with two separate areas - a garage and a ceramics workshop.

The interior design was influenced by the art of American minimalism with its interconnection of simple geometric shapes.

Different rooms are interconnected in such a way as to create some kind of spatial story in which visitors experience alternate sensations of contraction and expansion.

Wide, but relatively low holes carefully draw a view of horse walking.


Огромные световые люки ориентированы на восток. Эти полые объемы создают яркую, светящуюся атмосферу, наделяя пространство особым качеством. Sloping edges of the ceiling in combination with partitions and bright windows give volume to the sculpture.


The variety of interior spaces contrasts with the seeming simplicity of the external volume: the massive double-slope roof rests on a brick base and creates a feeling of strength and simplicity.
