The project took place at one and a half hours east of Montreal. The landscape was gradually transformed into undulating farmlands, with lakes and small mountains. The clients were a couple of farmers and artists deeply connected to the area and interested in the conservation of the land and agricultural buildings.
Renovated farm on the outskirts of Montreal. The farm buildings become a dwelling
A couple of farmers and artists turned to the architecture studio LAMAS for the renovation of old barns in Canada, in order to transform them into houses, whose design did not neglect the rudimentary nature of the buildings.
The cladding of the house was made of re-proposed hemlock, salvaged from dilapidated barns located in Ontario. The house was located on a farm, whose design after the renovation did not neglect its "agricultural roots". The spaces were grouped around a courtyard, reminiscent of the courtyard typical of Quebec granaries and barns in Ontario.
The house has several views, a field of oats, a horse farm, hills. The interaction between the interior and exterior spaces of the house is very interesting, as are the frames on the landscape captured by the perimeter windows on their sides.
