canada-based MU architecture‘s extension of a residence in quebec comprises two superimposed garages, a workshop, a large creative room and a mezzanine. hanging over a cliff in the laurentians’ mountainous countryside, the minimalist wooden volume emerges from the surrounding greenery, resting on a set of inclined columns.

MU architecture has covered the workshop’s exterior in pre-aged grey wood, and linked it to the main residence via a cantilevered bridge. spanning over 450 sqm, the spacious but intimate interior is fit with minimalist surfaces, such as polished concrete floors, and is built to accommodate large formats of painting. a relaxation and play area in the mezzanine stands under a large, uninterrupted ceiling, where a small house-shaped volume encloses the bathroom and another, smaller mezzanine. this area is accessed by an open staircase that acts as a connector between the bridge and the mezzanine, and consists of a series of large plates made of cold-rolled steel.
