located on a large wooded lot near sutton, a town situated in southwestern quebec, this residence has been conceived as a shared family home for a financier now based in asia, and his parents who still live in canada. designed by les architectes FABG, the dwelling’s common areas, such as the kitchen, dining room and living room, occupy an open ground floor that also includes a wine cellar and a garage. the parents’ bedroom is found at the western end of the plan, next to a study that overlooks a swimming pool to the south.

the upper level is reserved for the son, and houses a living room, guest rooms, a terrace and a master bedroom offering unobstructed views of mount sutton. the home’s two wings are positioned at right angles to minimize noise transmission between floors, an issue that becomes more pertinent when adjusting to the time difference between asia and quebec.

externally, the house — clad with black lacquered aluminum panels and white cedar accents — sits on a podium oriented towards a swimming pool and lawn terrace. the hybrid dwelling has been constructed from wood, steel and concrete floors with radiant heating, while the glazing of the curtain wall and the windows include a low-e coating.
