At Eastman, in the Eastern Townships, an open landscape: a treeless prairie with some shrubs, wind and sun – a northern savannah.
On this vast site, a simple architectural program: an open-plan country house, with a single closed bedroom and a veranda.
The challenge of the project here is to make little into large, to match the site’s scale.
To achieve this, two superimposed orders:
-
a minor order: the residence composed of three distinct main structures: the veranda/the house/the bedroom.
-
a major order: a vast autonomous metallic roof, above the residence, protecting it from the sun and rain.
Simply a mark above the horizon line.
