WENTWORTH-NORD, Quebec – Architecture firm Atelier BOOM-TOWN created Alizé Residence, perched on one of the many peaks of the Lac Saint-Victor estate.

The roofs are laid out along two axes covering, from north to south, a small garage, a carport, the main entrance and vestibule, the laundry room, and a large terrace. From east to west are the living room, kitchen, dining room, study, and master bedroom with private bathroom all arranged under a long, low-pitched roof.

The home’s exterior is monochrome, with wood or steel siding and aluminum windows in black. The concrete of the foundation walls is directly exposed to view, emerging from the earth like the stone of the cliff on which it settles. The decking of the exterior ceilings for the carport and terrace is left in natural wood, while the structure supporting the roof is exposed and painted black. Inside, polished concrete floors store and diffuse heat. High ceilings are made of wood planks.

Throughout the project, the color palette and materials are restrained: black, gray, white, wood, concrete, steel, and glass, ; pure colors that highlight the environment surrounding the project. The materials and tectonics of the project blend with the elements that make up the nature of the landscape, and the wind that blows across the whole gives it direction.
