La Grive

Contemporary architecture in the heart of nature

La Grive, a contemporary home featuring passive solar design, offers a bright, inviting, and comfortable living space in the heart of nature with privileged access to Lac Piché.

 

On the ground floor, we discover a complete living space, including the kitchen, the dining room, and the open concept living room with a 9-foot high ceiling and its Stüv wood stove providing a warm atmosphere. On the ground floor are also found a bedroom and a washroom with shower, with 9-foot high ceilings. An open staircase leads upstairs to three bedrooms with 15-foot high cathedral ceilings and a full bathroom with a freestanding bath and shower. At the garden level, we find a vast living room, a washroom with shower, and a laundry room with 9-foot high ceilings. There is also the possibility to create a fifth bedroom in this vast living space.

 

Living at Domaine Côté Boréal means choosing a living environment where you can, with family or friends, enjoy a host of outdoor activities throughout the seasons: swimming, canoeing, kayaking, boarding. paddleboarding, hiking, picnic, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, slides and hiking trails on the lake in winter.

IN THE HEART OF NATURE

This single-family house project is located in the heart of nature in a completely wooded environment, and offers privileged access to Lac Piché.

 

The open concept living spaces, master bedroom, and east-side terrace offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Laurentian horizon and magnificent sunrises. Throughout the seasons, splendid landscapes evolve, constantly renewed daily according to changing weather conditions.

Icône pour illustrer l'architecture contemporaine

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

The design reflects a contemporary architecture that stands out with its streamlined volume, noble materials, and a bright living space open to the outside.

Icône pour illustrer le lien avec la nature

DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE OUTDOOR

The living space extends outwards from the large openings on the ground floor, providing direct access to the courtyard and the terrace, allowing the occupants to enjoy the splendors of nature throughout the seasons. Panoramic windows and focused views allow stunning views of nature from all floors.

 

In order to make the most of the vegetation all-year round, a wooden structure made up of garden planters extends from the first floor to the ground floor, then extends outwards as a vegetable garden, providing visual continuity from all levels. The addition of a future greenhouse or veranda adjacent to the house, with direct access from the living area, measuring 12 feet by 20 feet, is planned since the foundations and preparation of the exterior wall are already in place. Check out our blog post to learn more about the construction of a greenhouse adjacent to the house.

Icône pour illustrer l'enveloppe d'un bâtiment

PASSIVE SOLAR DESIGN

The shape of the house stretches due south to make the most of the light and passive solar gain in winter thanks to abundant fenestration and a LEED concrete slab, with recycled content, storing heat during the day and diffusing it at night, thus improving occupant comfort. Check out our blog post to learn more about passive solar design.

Icône pour illustrer l'efficacité énergétique

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The mechanical ventilation system recovers heat and contributes to occupant comfort. The water heating system provided by the ECOPEAK® technology water heater makes it a responsible choice during peak periods

Icône pour illustrer les matériaux utilisés dans la conception du bâtiment

LOCAL, HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

The materials for the cladding of exterior walls and sloping roofs, wood and sheet metal, are genuine, recyclable, and have a longer lifespan. The materials used for the insulation of the walls and the roofing are composed of natural materials, namely the SONOclimat Eco4 and R+ insulating panels made up of wood fiber, the cellulose from recycled newspaper, and the Airmétic® Soya insulating foam manufactured from soybean oil and recycled plastic bottles. SICO Ecosource brand interior paint with zero VOC formula ensures better indoor air quality.

 

NU Green 2® panels, used for kitchen modules, are composed of raw ULEF particles, very low formaldehyde emission, FSC® and ECC certified, then contain 100% recycled and recovered wood fibers, pre-consumer.
