ALEXANDRA AND MATHIEU
The Canadian home reinvented for today's tastes!
Alexandra and Mathieu wanted a minimalist house, but above all one that was efficient and healthy. They also wanted a timeless, warm house with a maximum of charm: "a house that is lived in and that will withstand family life (in the country) and dogs. A house that will still be beautiful and not go out of style in 20 years." So with that description in mind, we collaborated and brought the design along those lines.
An exterior design inspired by houses in the Faroe Islands combined with an interior design with a northern European farmhouse style made of noble and sustainable materials. The result is a sleek house that blends into the flat landscape of the Montérégie.
From an ergonomic point of view and the layout of the rooms, the initial idea was to have a surface area distributed over three floors: basement, first floor and attic.
The basement houses two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a multi-purpose room and a large storage room located under the mudroom on the first floor.

On the first floor, the living areas have been designed to take advantage of a maximum of light and sunshine. The kitchen and its central island enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. There is also a mudroom and a shower room. Not to mention the superb three-season room, created by the client, which adds to the surface area of the house and gives it a bright and warm atmosphere. Who wouldn't want to relax and enjoy a good coffee while admiring the surrounding landscape?
No one has been forgotten in the design of this house, not even the dog. Indeed, the entrance of the house offers a functional space for Alexandra and Mathieu but also a shower for their dog! Upstairs, the master bedroom has a large walk-in closet. The attic is shared with another bedroom and a large full bathroom for a total of 586 square feet.
A home that is both compact and spacious. A design that is both traditional and refined, but above all an exceptional quality of life for all its occupants!
